Long Winters

Winter rides the lasting night unto the dawn in harshest light

Brighter barren wastes of land, could not be damned by gods command

Long the lost who wander still between the breaths of Winter chill

Still the heart and freeze the quill, alone again I take the pill.

Down

     Down

          Down

Only to wake and wish it not, vice and ice yet still remain

Temptations voice I can't refrain

from wishful thoughts that might abstain

should Winter not but nourish pain

and reinforce with great remorse

the perils of this foolish course.

Rattle and shake both bottles and bones

tip the glass with silent moans

Hear the beat as dull as snow

all white again the lonely go.
