Breathtaking

Shroud me in snow, in casket-clouds
Oh winter!
                 I am yours
The breathtaking wind blows
Silent but for the trembling
In my throat

My love took winter's hand
Winter took my love away

Fall fell too quickly
So I asked the Spring to hurry
Winter spills so thick
                                like night
Bury the world
In a suit of white

The grace of snow, stars sink
and ring around the chimney smoke
My love lay perfected
A statue draped in white-rose-petal-skin

My love took winter's name
Winter took my love away

Fall fell too quickly
So I asked the Spring to hurry
Winter spills so thick
                                like night
Bury the world 
In a suit of white

Winter's deep is undisturbed
Sleep,
Love,
Drift away.

I'm sometimes intimidated to leave feedback here, since I'm just not sure if you'd rather let the thoughts you write simply stand as they are.

But, I really like this. So I think that's a safe comment. :)
