Winter’s Cold First Kiss

By Tyler Morrison

---

Dear brother and sweet sister, 
Let's walk down by the river. 
We'll whisper and we'll shiver 
At winter's cold first kiss.

Then we'll watch the golden leaves 
Slip down sleepy streams 
With old forgotten dreams 
We remember we should miss.

Here's how we'll spend 
The end of December: 
Pretending with friends 
And absolute strangers. 
Those obsolete calendars
Portend not a thing 
For our futures!

We’ll be sharing some laughs and drinks, 
Shedding some tears or clothing, 
But leaving our youthful fears 
Unspoken yet again.

So, dear brother and sweet sister, 
Let's walk back to the river. 
We'll whisper and we'll shiver 
To think we might lose this bliss.
