You're the Basil to My Strawberry
Write a short story or poem about an unlikely pairing or unlikely friends.
Cold Love
The night showering more fog than usual.
Numb feet parading the sly road,
Sweatshirts on top of another while snow slightly drizzling.
The cold is enough
to kiss my bare skin;
Yet unaccomplished is my soul within.
Waiting for the twitch of a complete hug.
The moment I unfurled the touch
tasting like heaven.
It melted with the intensity of heat
my love woven.
One touch and the cold wrapped me in his arms hugging my soul’s flame.
Rising my temperature to hundred Fahrenheit.
With the flavour of butterscotch icecream
I couldn’t fest the entire blame.
