Us Words

That moment 

In the cold 

Where it gets 

Just warm enough 

For snow

Those seconds

Of magic

We have that 

We manage 

To spin 

Snow

Slow

In 

Our 

Palms

Wisps

Of candy kisses

Mix

To make 

Sweet 

Sugar

Flakes 

Found 

Falling 

Onto our lips

Teasing the tips

Of our tongues

Like 

Love 

Often does 

Willing us 

To submit

Admit 

Surrender 

Remember 

Winter 

Wanes 

But magic stays

Warm 

Well 

Within

Our skin

Living 

Life

With him 

And me 

As we

As us

We take 

That moment 

At dusk 

The first light 

Of fireflies 

In flight

That glow 

That steals your breath

We know 

It well 

The spell

That lures 

Lovers 

To lakes 

To tame 

The heat 

Inside their veins

We gather it

Between 

Our beating hearts

We are 

Those seconds

Of forever

Filling

The secret spaces

Between us

The alchemy 

Of flesh 

And blood 

And bone

And lust 

Turned slow

So snow 

Becomes 

The love 

That blankets us 

The moment

That stirring second

When cold 

Gets warm enough

To grow 

Magic inside of globes 

That is what we 

He and I are made of 

That 

Is the science 

Of our "Us"
