Broken Ice

Heart breaking ice I have been bitten In the deepest chambers Cold black frosted ice Cracks begin Showing Watch where you are skating Oh but I am not depressed In fact the very opposite Raging mad Like a red rag to a bull A bird dirtied on the nest Blowing the main fuse Like a flash of lightning Heartless burning Deep inside Beyond my wildest belief To have the nerve Cold as steel I shake your hand Tainted my little paradise Drawing the past latest conquest A place dear to me Were I grew up Laughter and happiness echoes In the mind beautiful I have no words to say Cutting in blue cold steel On the blades edge On thin ice Breaking up I say forward Driving it in The dagger opening a deep wound In the heart

I love the imagery in this poem! I love the comparison to the cracking of ice and a broken heart. This gives new meaning to the phrase "cold-hearted"! A very deep and emotional piece, Liam. Excellent poetry!
