Winter Mood

A brand new year with fresh intentions 

But resolutions fail with excuse inventions 

The endless grey of January's mornings

Make winter moods , like creations mournings

Wishes like icicles last but for hours

As even the strong find effort just sours 

The cacophony of our winter's tale

In January makes our sanity fail

Like the haunted heartbreak of a lovers tryst 

The beauty of winter should not be missed 

For love can be lost to the grey decay

Lost forever from the light of the day

The pillow talk of spring is all too slight 

As January wind speaks aloud all night

A love letter to myself I wrote 

As words get frozen in my throat 

The longest month, winter lasts forever 

Makes thoughts as black as the clouds and weather

The bitter aftertaste of Christmas past

Makes the month of beginnings a blackness vast

Spiralling moods put the earth in stasis 

Seems like a hundreds days on a thirty one day basis 

Waiting for spring to paint me in your hues 

Lighter nights to walk in my halcyon shoes

Alone with the wilderness of my thoughts

My madness with my conscience courts

Early buds seem sweet as honey 

As January's end looks on the money

Grey and black bring on lucid dreaming 

Rainbows in my head have stories streaming 

Unravelling the threads of Darwins theory

The night so dark make dreams turn eerie

Out in the dark lost to the fog and snow

Alone in my solitude with nowhere to go

My silence is my armour , keeps me safe in the cold

From slings and from arrows , like warriors of old

The sky's smallest fracture, brings hope of the new 

The end of the frost and the start of the dew 

From embers to ashes , the winter burnt through

Sending love and forgiveness, from my heart to you.
