Love Poem: Baby It Is Cold Outside

Baby It Is Cold Outside

I can hear the mouthless wind 
loudly howling outside my window
Its wingless unseeable form whipping through    
 the leafless trees 
riding the branches wildly 
And blowing falling flakes onto every available space 
and covering them in white giving them  
   admirable shapes 

Oh yes indeed 
what a magical sight to gaze upon 
And although I happily enjoyed watching the snow soundlessly gliding down 
kissing the ground softly and forming beautiful landscapes 
The harshness wind is toothlessly bitting through my bones with its frigidness

So I  think it’s time to turn up the fireplace for some heat for my chilly bones 
And maybe a cup of delicious hot cocoa to warm my soul 

Because
baby it is cold outside
