Analysis of Love's Climate
they have been pushing us on to later
on waves of pleasure and hope
but resistance broke their flows
in a chilling concurrence
now the restless words of your heart
are rigid like molecules in frozen water
I shiver as if – in mere tulle
the cold of it takes an icy hold
and once more crave
for those trusted splashes
of your lustrous depictions bath
this is much too cold a winter
for a fresh new start
