Moist flakes drench the December
on my arid silken scarf
A delayed winter sets in
Yet, so seemingly unannounced
The snow settles upon my doorstep
Warmth leaves as much from my home
As from my heart, pressed cold by you
I hold a cup of coffee
The aroma drowns me
Taking me back to believe
In the color of your eyes
And I believe them despite
of the lightness of the drink
The flavor on the mind remains strong
