Warmth
that is my hope and prayer
for you
That your body may not
shiver and quiver
due to great gusts of subzero winds
but instead
under the soothing heat rapture between
folds of sultry jersey sheets
and thick comforting blankets
I pray
such heat
ignites the passions of your soul
and the negative degrees of winter
like lack of support
never snuffs them out
I hope the warmth
stays with you
ever encouraging
ever inspiring
may that flame
spread to fire
and never burn too hot
to blacken every spot touched
but maybe only just enough
to pop and sizzle
giving warning of the greatness
that is you
which everyone can feel heating up
So here's to you
with boundless appreciation for your hugs
and the vapors of warmth
formed within them
