blizzards

by Bobbie - Scorpio

if i capture the heat
in your electric-blanket lies
if it lingers
let me know
i've tried to grasp the warmth
of the fire so many times
and it's blazed on by
in another time
another fireplace
as i watch blizzards
spin outside
and coat the windows
with their cold
their biting wind
a hushed whisper on the walls
as i dream you
falling from the sky
the very same way
as bitter flakes of white embedding
themselves in my hair
in my dreams
but your attempt to save me with
electric blanket lies
your attempt of warmth
in the audacity
of the blizzard
never fails
when i hope to grasp it still
but i'd rather
taste the cold on my tongue
if it's blizzards
that tell the truth....

Reason for writing:

    i'm lost, about this. it's almost a year old and i reworked it, and liked it.
