White breath
in cold air
Rosy cheeks
glowing in firelight
as it dances
in soulful eyes
Closeness
warms the spirit
as joyful conversation
is fluid and flowing
Intimate moments
that have given life
to memories never
to be forgotten
living in the heart forever

I really enjoyed all of your references to the body. They give them poem a body of its own – I actually reread it to make sure that I didn’t miss any of your references 🙂
