she needs to be warmth,

   but come from a place

where the summers

         are pleasantly

                         cold,

  and winters

               are spent in front of

 a hearth,

          and she needs

                           eyes

   like the puddles

                     on a forest floor,

 and hair

            like late

                 autumn harvest,

  and she needs

                    bones

    of old

             timber;

  strong enough

                    to not let me

   anchor down

                   her soul.
