Winter Love At The Jersey Shore

Everything is frosted, crunching snow beneath our feet. The purple-grey sky is a blanket, as everyone sleeps. We huddle close together catching our breath. Watching the particles of snow become whole. Ice-cycles form on branches, drip-drip onto your heart,into my soul. Catching you off guard.The powered ice-sugar sifts down catching my eyelashes as I look up at you. The air turns your breath to frost as you lean in. Your hands beneath wool gloves, are warm in mine. I feel your touch and i’m holding my breath as we look into our future. Tangled underneith the blanket wrapped tight in my arms you are safe. Your soft lips graze my own. Catching my eyelashes as I look up to you and smile. The night dances with our breath as we lean in and your heart is warm next to mine.
