The Winter has arrived  wrapped in a snowy cape,

 smiling along, with its cozy presence giving new hope,

 the tall trees with few leaves that ruffle silently,

 the wind that makes my heart soar eloquently,

 a hug, a warmth, an intimacy  that stays forever,

 a gift of loyal love caressing the wounds to heal faster,

 festivities & merry-making shinning all the way,

 sharing smiles, laughter, happiness bidding sorrow a bye,

 O’ my love come lets dance to the tune of the trumpet,

holding each other’s hand witnessing the wintery sunset,

the winter greets and kisses us both with all the luck,

let’s now march forward without looking back,

The dim light of the candles across the windows,

invite us for creating a lifetime of memories,

a trip to the  land of peace, trust & respect,

keeping the tower of our close bond always erect

The Winter has arrived  wrapped in a snowy cape,

 smiling along, with its cozy presence giving new hope.
