I feel the cold

Seep through the walls

Cold days are here

Let thick quilts sprawl

I cuddle close

To feel flames heat

My old hound dog

Snores near my feet

I hear the wind

Howl near my home

Feel grateful for

A cozy dome

While reading book

My eyelids droop

I hear footstep

On wooden stoop

The door lock clicks

Feel icy breeze

Hear my lover

Expel loud sneeze

Takes off his coat

He looks half froze

I pull back quilt

He cuddles close

We talk awhile

Then silence reigns

As logs sizzle

Gray daylight wanes

Cold days are here

And wind may sting

But quilt cuddles

Make my heart sing
