Frozen In Time-2

Frozen in time-2 I remember, not so long ago Sirocco winds, would blow, igniting our passions embers, who could contemplate September. Then the leaves changed their hue as did your complexion Hindsight, illuminates my mind with perfect 20/20 reflection My jokes lost their appeal your smile was misplaced... My love, was still very real yours disappeared without a trace. Winter's chill came suddenly... and with a vengeance... you were gone without my name even being mentioned, to your friends or mine, your polar vortex left me frozen in time. An avalanche of emotions pummeled me from all around left me depressed, compressed, concealed and congealed, underground I was caught off guard paralyzed and plastered... by this freakish storm of an unnatural disaster I imagine the day when sojourners trekking over barren tundra they find me petrified, buried six feet under. They spy a flower extended from what appears to be a mans hand... When they dig me out, that's when they'll understand, that, A one sided mountain is not worth the climb, and a one sided love will leave you frozen in time. John Derek Hamilton November 16,2016

John, this is great! I am not a big fan of winter either but at least in the south we don't get snows you guys get. I'll be lucky to see snow at all. Really loved this poem, John:)

Nice theme carried throughout, and the sentiment was spot on that dusty mountaintop! :) Love 'Sirocco winds'!
