Wind

stepping out from warm arms
into the cold

bitter breezes are playing
on me from every direction.
it's a chaotic dance which fails
to seep through my coat and scarf.
it's as if the world is trying to make me forget
the feeling of you
wrapped in me

and the look you gave,
wrapped in pale, pastel-painted pyjamas,
as i played a thousand soft sonatas
on your cheek

And the sound you made,
from a loose and slackened mouth
as you passed across into sleep
