Love Poem: Tonight the Air Is Bitter

Tonight the Air Is Bitter

The bitterness of tonight 
Helped realization take it's true tow.
It tingled down deep
Down deep in my soul.

It helped to stir a desire
One held harbored oh so long.
The question being made to reappear
Tho an answer is yet to be known.

Could a mate warm me within
Would he be there to help fight off the bitter winds?
Could he make surface those feelings
The ones needed to uphold the emotions
When they are nesting safely inside.

If the freedom of a lasting love
Were to escape the captivitity
Of my heart
Would a tingle fulfill my body?
Could I accept you as tho you were real?
Or feel you as I did tonight's cold wind?
