The Snow Queen

Come, winter snow queen, decorate my window
with delicately crystalline designs.
Invite me to your kingdom, where the winds blow.
I'll trace and search your messages for signs
of castles in the ice and frozen roses,
and fairy tales where hearts thaw out at last,
and rosy colored cheeks, and reddish noses,
a dire wolf to help complete the cast.

Imprison me in frigid, freezing shackles,
the chimney labors, bellowing with smoke.
Come join me by the fire as it crackles,
and sets the room aglow with pine and oak.

Check my restraints, till nothing is amiss.
And then, I dare you, give me just one kiss.
