winter of no love

by Charlie Morgan

a high-stepping wind stretches
its long arms and rattles all;
looting, licking at hair perms,
babies and old folks' soft skin.

goose-bumps hum a tune of silence
and ripple the tiny universal skin;
a mean Norther chuckles as she gallops
across land,teasing lakes, fresh life.

while preteen hearts yearn for summer
we, of age, of stone, bridle our leaping,
and caress breaking hearts for the needy.
all is cold, and winter is still here.

Charlie, I don't know what else to say! I love it. Winter comes to all of us and sometimes never leaves. Nice write!

The sad thing is how you can get hooked on an emotion like that. Very easily. Great work, man.
