my love's petals red satin
her delicate edges burnt
and sharp
one touch will numb you
one inhale to black my vision
frost just covers her feet
I watch her sway
as the snow falls onto my face
a single flake is inhaled
cold climbing through my veins
the frost forms at my feet
as my cheeks go flush
the lush poppy field surrounds
your lavender field
your hands squeeze my hips
pulling me against your chest
away from her
your pink wings encapsulate me
your olive skin and white hair
fill my vision
your neck smells of lavender
your wings ignite
scorching my powdery white face
your flame traveling up my nose
your eyes grey
as my pupils dilate
my fingers reach out
towards the poppy
frost creeps over the poppy slowly
stopping just short of my fingertips
my head rests on your shoulder
staring out
as the last of your embers
float into my nose
my fingers tremble as they stretch further
still unable to touch the glittering poppy
my vision finally blackening
as I crumble into white flakes
falling into the snow
you lie in
snow hugging you
poppy wrapping around your waist
climbing up as you stand
your dress white with poppies
flowing in it
a crown woven from lavender grows from your head
skin olive
hair grey
your warmth radiates melting
me
your dress melting to blue
flowing down to the snow fields
as I river behind you
poppy petals running across my surface
