Love and Seasons

their relationship followed the seasons
in the spring their love would grow
like the grass pushing up
from under the powder snow
in the summer their love would thrive
resembling a colony of honey bees
now during fall their love would aptly stall
while their leaves turned red
anticipating the coming freeze
now winter was the worst for them by far
their love slowed from the cold
and froze gradually
until they were both pinnacles of
missing emotions
and forgotten notions
now they might make it through
i don't know
if one survives the winter
the other just might be under the snow
