Thin Ice of Life

A skating I go On the thin ice of life. A skating I go On the thin ice of love. On the fine sheet of ice, I draw fine lines As the skate curves along the icy floor Like a child scribbling indecipherable incurvates My creasing destiny, on my palm I delineate Ignorantly apprehensive of my desired fate. Reeling over the stones of enticing mutiny Orbiting along an extended apogee. Gathering myself together, combating myself unceasingly; Victoriously I follow my self-defined philosophy. Cognizant I am, of the hardship and pain Of the marathon race I've undertaken. Yet on the thin ice of love and life Inexorably carrying the burden of life A skating I'll always goalless go.
