Winter months

25 JUL 2021

I get mentally affected

When the sun it dips its head

For the winter months are dreary

And even Sunshine wants his bed

Temptation is so bitter

And self-control is what I lack

So I get caught in futile convos

That are very light on facts

And the flowers are not out yet

And they're keeping me a waiting

While they bud up on the bushes

And finish off their baking

So dull I feel and dull I look

As the cold grey months go by

And my mind it goes a wandering

To the things that passed me by

Sorrow fills my jerrycans

And just a whisper of old grief

For this much time I've passed alone

Rambling down life's street

Some of the lonesome life does suit me

Oh, it suits me plenty fine

But one thing I know about me

Is it's not a choice of mine

As natural as the love birds

Who pair up in the tree

Or the penguins who sing their hearts out

On the edges of the sea

Is as natural as my heart's sore longing

To exhale and relax

To snuggle 'gainst the warm strong curves

Of my one true's tender back.
