Poem Title:
Poem
I eat "Ice Cream Castles" from the air Now there are no clouds anywhere The Ice King sits upon his Throne No Queen for him he's all alone Within blue skies the world is clear I stretch my hand to bring him near Climbing upward on a "Ferris Wheel" From luscious lips a kiss to steal He looks on Earth to find a bride Each girl he has kissed has sadly died We know love, from "both sides now" A pleasured moment a broken vow Sad and smokey tortured eyes Within metal cocoon we try to rise His lips so cold my warmth is stole He must find one to quench his soul As the wheels turns, we both shall fall We want everything but can't have it all The ride is over the game is done I can't share our story with anyone He is a man and has his needs On others warmth is how he feeds The Castle crumbles clouds back in the air I dream my dreams I can still smell his hair Lonely is the path some lovers choose I sit with red wine and sing my blues Within the cold there is desire He seeks a woman with ample fire As smoke dances on thickened air I love a lover who isn't there My First poem is Empty Castles, written on July 20, 2014. It was a tribute to Joni Mitchell's. Her song "Both Sides Now" was part of the inspiration. Words from her song are in quotes. I wrote it after looking at a self portrait she painted. I chose to write it in a female voice. My second poem is Ice king, written For SKAT July 28, 2013. The third and forth line of each stanza are from this poem. This poem is for Craig Cornish's; Intermingle Contest.
