Give me this luxury
Hair descended from dandelions.
Cold tinted strands, color white froze.
Warmth from fingertips, heat the scion.
Intertwined fingers, tuft silk primrose.
Frost moves, entranced, perplexed, unknown.
Glisten, ice absolved from timid shrive.
Exposed confession, petals blown.
Tell, recount stories, fairly alive.
Heat seeped senses, kindled refined honey.
Resistance evaporated, well faded.
Sweet now, sensation ebullient, runny.
Glance, look, feel, touch, taste, savor, sacred.
Barricaded, someone pried, allow.
Verglas banished, promised vow.
