Frost lies on my windowsill
From winter's frozen rain
Makes waking up now just too hard
And looking out a pain
Because inside is nice and warm
With coffee or coco
Perhaps I'll just go back to sleep
And dream about the snow.
Without out you my love I am so lost and so cold
They say home is where the heart is, well you are my home
When I'm cold and tired, weak and shivering
When I'm frosted and beat and my toes are tingling
I fall in your arms, feel your warm body and hold tight
You melt the ice you make things alright
Your warm and cozy and I relax in your grasp
I fall asleep swaddled in your love that will always last
You warm my body, my heart my soul
I miss you right now, right now I'm not with you and I'm alone and cold

I bring warmth to those cold
I bring energy to those weak
No one believes in what they are told
They only search for what they seek
I help many things grow
Without me so many would die
I help out so much in life's flow
I just sit here in the morning sky
Exactly what my purpose not many know
I brighten up lives after the rain
I make most happy I take away pain
I ask for nothing I have nothing to gain
I just leave a warming stain
And for that most are thank full
I just ask don't stare
You will get more then an eye full
You will get a strong lasting glare
So for your eyes take care
After the rain I can help with the rainbow
Dry up after a flood
I put a glisten to the first fall of snow
I dry up unwanted mud
I'm always wanted around I've been told so
After the showers
That come and go
I bring comfort to the drenched flowers
Everything has a beautiful side that I hope they show
Nope I don't have special powers

Winter is loving
Winter is cold
Winter is sharing all alone
People sit around the Christmas tree
Like you and me
Giving our gifts to the people
Who are caring
For the people who should not be alone
Like me
On Christmas eve
Winter is for boys and girls like me
Winter is for kids alone in their beds
Waiting for Santa to come
Please come soon so I'm not alone
Winter is loving
But i am cold
When they wake in the morning
Winter is me
Winter is you
Winter is for the whole family.

i want to take you for a ride
through the mountains,
watch the sun go down
beneath the shade of evergreens,
and make a wish upon the first star we see
under the moonlit sky,
and on the way home,
i want to buy you an ice cream cone,
and i want you to hold mine for me,
as i drive through the streets,
because next to you, my love,
i am mesmerized,
just as i was on the very first day,
by the twinkling light
dancing in your eyes.
i want to pull in the driveway
and feel you smile inside
when you hear the dog bark,
and are at last assured i was comforted,
despite your absence,
by an unconditional love,
equal to that you have given me
for so many years,
immeasurable among the reasoning
of common people,
your love has been a gift of inexplicable worth,
that shallow men cannot fathom.
i want to watch as these ties of love,
having bound us so close,
manifest all the years of deep committment
while we bask in those first hours
that unfold our new beginning.
i want to touch your lips
and feel the warmth of your breath upon my fingertips,
feel my heartbeat jump into my throat
and my eyes become as magnets to yours,
and melt away the scornful words of men
that sought to tear your manhood down,
relentless and bitter cruelty leaving scars
without a sound to human ears,
but sure as the sun shines in the sky,
wounds real hearts can hear.
i want to feel your flesh on mine,
as my mouth touches every part,
and trade the place i keep in my mind,
for a journey into your heart,
i'll tell you every longing
as each breath becomes desire,
unspoken, though well understood,
as love takes ahold of our fire.
i want to hold your soul
in love's embrace,
too much time denied,
because to me, my love,
you're just that precious,
i don't want to change
what is shining inside,
and with time we'll journey on this road,
the good things and the bad,
and know that little can lead us astray,
because the worst has already been had.
and so that is what i want... i want love to hold your soul.

I have a heart that’s made of stone
Because you cannot live on love alone
If you want my love
You will have to etch your name
On a heart that no one wants to claim
Once I had a heart of gold
But it’s since been changed to fit the mold
Of a selfish world and a tragic past
A world where gold would never last
Then you came with a heart of fire
Blazing flames climb ever higher
The heart of stone can feel its glow
And stone becomes like melting snow
Weather, pressure, hot and cold,
Swirls around in the heavens until it gets old,
Tumbling down across rivers and streams,
Through mountains and valleys, canyons, ravines.
Painting the clouds with a paintbrush unseen,
Whistling and howling, of where you have been,
Of all of the elements, I've always loved you,
It's because of the unity you often imbue,
A thundertorm isn't the same when you've left,
When you're there all the poise is indeed so bereft,
But gusty, blustery, flustery wind,
When you strum up your fury,
We best not be thin-skinned.
