When the winter cold <br />creeps out like a old memory <br />without warning <br />the days get colder <br />and the chill gets into your bones <br />as if it wants to live within. <br /> <br />I think of you <br />and I long for the summer <br />and the sunny summer days <br />when the winter coat <br />hangs over the heavens <br />and the sky is grey <br />and even the sun is dimmed. <br /> <br />I reach for a blanket to warm my heart <br />and I do miss you more <br />and long for the summer <br />and the sunny summer days. <br /> <br />When the frost spreads over the backyard <br />like a comforter over a bed <br />my hands reach out to touch you <br />but in vain <br />and your space next to me is empty <br />and I long for the summer <br />and the sunny summer days. <br /> <br />In the winter mornings I do miss you even more <br />as you are my sunny summer days. <br />Without you its winter in my heart <br />and all that I am left with <br />is winter memories.<br /><br />Daleen Enslinstrydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-are-my-summer-sun/
