Winter Love

The days have grown short
Snow covers fields and valleys
A cold wind whistles

I am safe inside
A link with all whom I love
You, my family

I smile when I think
Of the joy we have given
Each other :ymhug: :x

Glory eternal
Shining blades high we ride forth
The Darkness to slay

Red Death to all who
oppose me. Your lives run dry
My Hammer smites all

All Brothers stand tall
Fighting the World, side by side
Blood stained flag high.

Who is that person
In the mirror? A stranger,
Yet someone I know.

She'd call him "handsome"
And kiss that face, but now she's
Gone. No more kisses.

When she left she took
Part of me with her. Now I
Don't recognize me.

Piranha pickle
Stalking veggies in your soup
Silent predator.

Sees the tomato
Floating luxuriously
Seize the tomato.

Thrashing veggies splash
Scalding soup broth into eyes
Violent soup death.

Creeps meekly, softly
Begs forgiveness from his peers
Feeling so ashamed.

Perhaps Bear shall shun
Maybe Don will not forgive
What of the others?

Is it possible that
The child is still an outcast
In the eyes of all.

In a world so bleak,
I often come to wonder.
What makes hops awesome?

Do its merits shine?
Or is it slave to barley?
No that can't be true.

In giving us joy,
it's seflessly delicious.
Lord, how I love beer.
