Winter is here, soft snowflakes fall like sugar and dust our
shoulders, melt on hair. Returned from our cold journey into our house,
we head straight for bed.
Warmth, that is all we seek. You strip naked first, and warm
the cool bed for a moment before I brave the air touching my goose-bumped skin
for the briefest of moments before sliding next to you. I rest my head on your
shoulder, your arm going around me and pulling me in tight. The weight of the
blankets, and your body heat, cocoon me in coziness and warmth.
Minutes pass, your fingers lovingly stroke my hair away
from my face, and I become lulled into peace by the feel of those fingers and
the steady rhythm of your heart beat. Calm, still moments pass before your hand
slides to the base of my hairline and suddenly grips and pulls my hair.
