Winter Whispers
Quiet whispers and grasped hands as the breath of winter begins its dance. Swept up in a swirl of white dancing beneath the moonlight. Your sweet caress across my lips. A cold shiver as your touch lingers. Your eyes glisten as you stare into mine whispering a final ‘goodbye’. Continue reading
