“Winter Wonderland Love” by Cindy Georgakas

Winter chills of love,
my warm heart beating,
stops.
 
Love lost,
scars protect,
Kindling stokes fires.
 
I read through the empty lines.
Verses, stand alone,
only for the taking.
 
Flesh torn open
and exposed,
nobody wins.
 
This languished love
isn’t for the faint of heart,
nor for those who believe in fairytales.
 
Step inside this wonderland,
where darkness is a gifted friend.
The gate keeper of your soul is you.
 
No trespasser’s allowed,
protect your precious home.
My warm heart starts beating,
once again.
