In Wintery Gales



Oh, how my mind regales

My heart - of all the tales

The stake upon which I impale

As the future now does entail



Involving myself in lusty spells

With pairs of lips who'd just kiss and tell ...

And pride, right now, does stand tall ...

Above the ring of it all ...



And so, my quietness eludes

The pull of these brief interludes ...

Holding out for the magical time

When just one heart alone will be prime



Not only in my mind and soul

But to grow with, as we get old

Loving day-in, and day-out ...

Sharing the song and the clout



... Of rain-soaked sessions in the park

Making love in light and in dark ...

Knowing well there's no stopping the tales

Of Love ... unmasked, by - wintery gales ~
