colors vibrate as oddly opposite
crimson red bleeds into frosty whiteness
chilling snowflakes adorn my rose
frozen time seals our ominous fate
your winter of hope will soon cry out
a fragile blossom defies angry storms
the season of snow will blanket all
its cruel breath now more deadly than life
say good-bye and bow your head
shed a tear for the loss of true love
