Coldest day...

Your mouth is too wide for kissing,
Made for devouring
And the telling of tall tales.
Ive lost count of how many.
And yet Im never tired of listening,
Waiting for your smile.
Our breath mingles
Above our heads
A melding our lips will never taste.
The chill makes us stand too close.
Hyperborean dreams whispered
Between us.
A haze of your smoke interposes
As we say our goodbyes
Each to seek a separate
Warmer clime.
