Frost Bitten

In the skeletal branches of the trees, 

the golden threads of her soul wound like spider webs.

Her voice drifted up from the swirling leaves

planting kisses on my ears, 

soft and warm in the brisk breeze. 'I have not forgot.'

As breath freezes crystaline and falls shattering to the earth 

at the conjuration of an apparition. An apparition of love

lost in the darkest fall. Bitter winds bite the skin and words

carried through living trees tear at vibrant leaves; 'I miss you,'

Her touch: cold, slides through the flesh leaving me breathless. Frost bitten.
