“Love in a Dead-Cold Winter”

They had been searching for himFor a long time through the mountain blizzard.

It is never good to pick up a fightWith the devil and friends.

He felt exhausted,Probably as much as the horse he rode and care for so much.

A miracle no doubt landed both in a small town,Set somewhere in a valley with no real name.

They found each other at the town’s only bar.Was it pure chance? God , or the devil at play ?

She was young, the prettiestAnd one of the many girlsTending the bar’s tables.Sex was also her game….

As he got in bed with herHe felt the intense warmth of her beautiful body,

In contrast with the freezing outside.He found himself feeling

What he had never felt before,A Safe haven in her bosom.

“I love you” he whispered to herAs their bodies melted into one.

“I have not loved another before !”

The morning was approaching,He could sense his final fate in the valley buried deep in snow

At the hands of his nemesis…He turned his eyes to his girl, and cried.

“I love you, and I have never loved anyone before you”.

Please do not leave she implored,But she met with silence and not words….

Feared ran deep into her being.

He walked outside looking for his only friend and horse,Not far he could see the devil himself with gun at hand.

He heard the shot,And in an instance his chest was on fire,

The devil’s bullet was on target.

It did not matter, nothing mattered,All he remembered was her love,

Laying next to her, and the intense heat of her loving.His life fading away,

All he could think of was for her to know:“You are the only girl I have ever loved”

God will she ever know?

And then darkness set upon his World….And She was left alone.
