The shadows on the wall,
they stare at me
with deserting eyes.
Ice crystals on crimson petals
bring to life
a single thought...
A blanket of pure snow
covers the grounds
Skies turn to grey
Thorns pierce my heart
Standing in this empty room
staring out the window
into eternity...
When shall you return?
The days; I have been counting
It's been almost a year...
Winter prevails
Pure beauty, piercing pain...
The rose that still stood
collecting smooth flakes
melting day by day
Dew-drops slowly form
Yes, that rose is my soul
in the dead of winter.
I am still awaiting your return
Suddenly I see
a silhouette walking
towards these frozen grounds
My rose begins to glow,
returning to life
Shadows on the walls dance
then slowly fade into the darkness
Your arms await me.
Dark winter forest no more...
a winter garden fulfills your promise
Blazing memories of you
kept me warm
And so we lie
covered by blankets of snow
Our fingers interlocked,
cold lips engaged in a warm kiss
body heat melting the snow.
We shall never again part...
