DESIDERATA

I hide 
In winter's shadows 
Soundless 
As a snowflake 
Waiting for you 
To steal my solitude away 
To hug me breathless 
With your warm breaths 
And gently, 
With your soul whispers 
Nudge me awake 
To melt me 
With the heat 
Of your bewitching eyes 
And still, soundlessly 
Holding me captive 
Within your skin’s 
Sultry bouquet 
To suck me up 
Into your storm 
And deftly 
Lead me astray
