Last Night of December

Cold and raw,
the wind whistles sharply.

Snow begins to fall,
only flurries, very light.
No telling what will happen
on this last December night.

Pitter-pattering on the roof
as snow mixes with rain.
Passionate fire fuels their hearts;
She cringes with lovely pain.

Sheets of white blind prying eyes
from seeing the activity within.
Raging love is all ablaze,
encouraging this awesome sin.

Accumulating on the earth,
the snow blankets the ground.
Wrapped up in each others arms
they bask in the love they've found.

The storm moves on and the weather calms,
on this last night of December.
The two kiss slowly, then fall asleep,
from a night they'll always remember.
