Stephen Parker Poet Rhyme

Chilled Love

From cold, distant hearts frigid 
air doth circulate
Downy blanket no longer the 
surface can insulate
Icy stares a corrosive wind 
doth instigate
A sheltering family no longer 
the gale can mitigate
Frostbitten minds numbed to 
their pending fate
Emotive cisterns once gushing 
with joy now frozen, stagnate
Frosty touches cause tender 
limbs to degenerate
Thick, dreary clouds hover; 
fleeting hopes oscillate 
A rolling fog descends; 
foundational dreams obfuscate
Fallowed ground fertilized by 
acrimonious debate,
Allowing only seeds of malice 
to germinate
Lacking a steady compass the 
barren expanse to navigate,
Two, intemperate souls from 
winter's chill hibernate
A stale frond whose limp veins 
are now desiccate

Audrey Haick January 6, 2012 at 4:18 PM Has it been a while since you posted, Stephen?.. or maybe it's I who have not been here very often...anyway this is very, very good even with its sad tone...perfect imagery that spells in the end, "indifference". My best wishes to you for a Happy New Year! Love, Annalise
