"Winter's Delight" by Kevin Foley

Tracing the heavens
With crystals of ice
On stillborn moons
Of rapture’s delight

In fading December
With one kiss goodnight
In winter's embrace
Her gentle Reich

It’s so hard to breath
With her in my sight
That single kiss
Always on my mind

Breaking the regularity of rhyme and meter in the last line works well to establish a sense of distraction and wistfulness.
