Makeshift Lovers

Valentine Poetry by Dylan

Often I say that winter is my dearly beloved . We ’ ve gather in harmonious wedlock , and cared for each other ’ s safety . She keeps me warm with her chilly embrace , and I cradle her in the prison of my bed with the sheets being her cell , and the pillows being the bars .
With every great love , comes an even more tempting mistress . Slipping seductively , slowly , into the clutches of another partner , but only for a short time before the moment vanishes into the summer sun .
Free
Beneath the great void , I stand beside thee . Choking out echos of yesterday , Knowing nothing is ever free .
As the door creaks open to reveal a penetrating light that only a true lover could handle . Her sweet , sticky aroma runs circles in my head and I study her warm , wet body .
Covered in darkness , she twists and dances in the shine of stars , and flirts with the pale moonlight in the dead of night . Moving as swiftly as a cool breeze through the bristled arms of fresh pine needles .
In her greatest moments she shifts from a shining beacon , to a downpour of heavy howls and pent up rage in little less than an instant .
She cradles me in an embrace much warmer than a previous admirer , with an even simpler touch upon my skin .

She ’ s a worthy mistress , the love we make echos out like the sound of an old song sung . Her name is Spring And Spring Has Sprung .
