Winter You Horrible Being


Winter you horrible being. 
You bought with you this horrible sense of taking over everything that is bright and beautiful.
Taking away my once love and passion for this place. 
As the days grew shorter and nights grew longer, so dimed the sparkle in my eyes. 

You came like a black knight ready to slay everything and anything in his path. 
You were clear, take no prisoners and leave no soul alive. 
You left a trail of carnige, self distruction, self doubt and a shit load of self pity. 

Winter you horrible being. 
As I start my next chapter. 
I will carry amazing memories of the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. 
And the sun's beautiful smile as it did its happy dance across the horizon. 
And the stale sulphuric comforting smell of the ocean. 

Winter you horrible being. 
As the chapters become a book.
I will also remember, how your arrival ment it was time for my body to fight itself. 
How antihistamines became my loyal, and ever present best friends. 
You know what? 
It's ohk hey. It is ohk. 

Winter you horrible being. 
You may think you are in charge now, but don't forget...  
Your time is limited, it always is! 
Your days are numbered, they always are!
The days will grow longer, the nights will grow shorter and the sun's happy dance on the horizon will return!
Until then enjoy your victories and enjoy your rule! 
Winter You Horrible Being.
