Warm winter days

And the sun shines brilliantly!

oh, winter, warm winter days

so gentle and kind its sweet caress

that love retreats into heart

and cuddles in deep so to last

through forthcoming heat and dismay.

There will be the heat of a summer’s ire

and the dismay of a lover dismissed

to burn love’s fortified nest

because nothing can ever withstand

the fire of this reality.

So burns the nest agonizingly

and inside heart screams silently

but love, yes, love, always escapes 

into the shade of the meaningful

to mend and recuperate.

And when love steps out, again, again,

will it find any remnant left

of that heart and fortified nest

that burnt so agonizingly

and silently?

Yes, because always the meaningful

survives each and every fire

to say, again, again, again,

I do love you!
