I'm Cold

I'm cold:

My teeth are chattering

And goosebumps cover my bare arms,

So hold me close

In the cocoon-like warmth of your arms.

Chase the chill away

With your shaman-like voice

And sooth my frozen nerves

And melt my uptight,  frigid insides.

The cold is deep-rooted right to my soul.

Blankets and hot soup,

I have tried;

Yet, nothing works

Against this perennial cold;

Nothing, except your

Inviting presence

That reminds me of home.
