Bewitching Snow

It’s crazy how bewitching it is tonight
Everything’s frosted and still
The whole world is holding its breath
As we crunch through the softness
Hand in hand.
The purple-grey sky is a blanket
and the world sleeps underneath
with sugar-plum branches
and sugar-snow icing
that frosts everything
magical.
The powdered ice-sugar
sifts down
catching my eyelashes as I look up
the air turns your breath to frost as you lean in
and your hand is warm in mine.

It’s crazy how bewitching you are tonight
As we lay here so close and so still
I feel your touch and I’m holding my breath
As we look to the future
Hand in hand.
Tangled here in this blanket
wrapped tight in your arms underneath.
The touch of your skin
the scent of your breath
suddenly everything’s
magical.
Your soft lips
graze mine
catching my eyelashes as I look down
the night dances with our breath as we lean in
and your heart is warm next to mine.
