Coin a New Word for TOP

Paligal

When snowflakes
of girl friend issues
settle cold
and icy
on his neck

and stress
builds up
in a suffocating
down jacket,

he can’t wait
to get home
and IM
his paligal.

Those winter
problems
melt away
drip by drip
as they
type sunshine.

    Wow! Great imagery and use of a made-up word. Love mix of cherriness and pain.
