Random Winter Nights

The wind scrapes off dry skin from my arms;
It's bitter chill unnerving my joints.
My teeth are threatening to chatter together,
Despite my numb fingers & toes.

My clothes are too thin to be outside on me.
So I extend my arms & wrap my abdomen.
I close my eyes & ignore iced head
As it numbs on my neck like a block.

One thought keeps me warm on this very night,
An embrace that could remedy all chills.
It livens my lips & stretches my cheeks,
As a deep & satisfying smile is released.

I open my eyes, feel the wind through my hair,
And imagine those to be his soothing fingers.
I feel the wind caress my cheeks & my forehead,
And visualize his palms cupping my face.

I stare at the dancing nature that surrounds me.
I can feel it's shivering insides resonating with me.
The dance is enhanced by its moonlit shadows,
And the cloudy dark sky against its movements.

He grabs my hands and wraps his body over mine,
And suggests we head on inside for some warmth.
What more is there to do when he offers his embrace,
But to accept with arms wide open & heart explored.
