Poem Title:
Poem
It was a miserable sultry day Humidity hung like lemons on trees heavy air filled my lungs beads of sweat clung to my skin this heat was difficult to bear and stifling to try to breathe I wanted to be relieved and wished for a cooling summer breeze I felt a sudden chill later that day a drafty wind as he walked by He moved in a brisk pace but I glimpsed the furrow of his brow Sweeping winds of change were written in frosted crystals on his callous face Without so much as a whisper the temperature dipped in my heart If this is how the cool winds blow I'd prefer the spike of Summer heat over his glacial attitude and aloof demeaner From my eyes... fell flakes of Winter snow I could not read what was in his eyes They were clouded window panes I can't even begin to surmise what brought on the change in him My lips turned blue as the ill wind blew until it penetrated my soul His looks were blocks of ice. He built a wall I kept climbing it until my pulse grew weak and then I'd tumble and fall North winds had a strong hold on him I couldn't melt his frozen heart and mine was dying from lack of warmth I took flight to save my life on a frigid night : . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : September 1st, 2017
