Cold closes to confine,
binds in its grip...

Affinity finds fondness in
mutual understanding...

From whence these feelings came unto me
I promised that them I would hide...

Whispers dance softly on the breeze,
Silence hangs amid songs of hope...

Unspoken goodbyes
as echoed whispers rescind...

This is our world, but do we care?
Our people are suffering everywhere...

Strong senses stroke
in spirituous splendor...

Silence stirs
to sweep and sway...

Wistful wishes welcome such wonderment,
tethered to thoughts of feathered emotions...

Love always somehow beyond reach,
cold fingers stretched to nothingness...

Cider salaries
suppressed to redress...

Fragments of past slice to penetrate my thoughts,
untaught errors mingled with inflicted ails...
