Combatting the Cold

The cold creeps up to the window

Staring in at us with icy eyes

You shut the blinds and pull me to you

Curl your body around mine

And we sigh in the blissful warmth

Being wrapped in love provides

The cold rattles the windows

Icy fingers try to claw their way in

From underneath the door

I toss a door pillow down

Make you coffee

And settle back into your arms again

Our fortress fortified

We spend the day

Talking, touching, reading, laughing

Racing each other back to bed

To make more heat

Before the cold can attack again
