The steps I take are sinking into white.
The shrouded greenery a ghostly pale.
A vocal note, melodious and bright,
By gusty draft, no more a screech or wail.

Her lips, the color of a rose, appear
From whence her unconfined locks glide. Her eyes
Contain celestial allure. Austere
In mien describes her coronet's sheer guise.

Her gelid hand, a hue of blue, she lifts.
Our faces' rims connect. My soul she drains.
Her fingers, frozen igneous; they drift.
The shattered scenery, her figure wanes.

My languid body lays, engulfed in snow,
Cadaverous. To me, my soul forgo.
