Cold Fire
Glacial on the inside
Frozen memories
of a lost, tropical paradise life
Frostbitten feelings slowly moving
to the other bipolar side
Icy reflections of striated emotions;
dark moods,
lighthearted nostalgia aurora views
temporarily soothes
Sparkling snowflakes —
crystalline sadness swirl deeper inward
everyday
a new layer of coldness
ignite the igloo beating hearth
Sub-zero lonely, empty pulse desires
buried inside an Arctic aorta:
The pulmonary permafrost side of hell on earth
Solitary cold is the fire
that burns within
A desolate fortress of denial
is never warmed by the freezing flames
The cold dawn of bliss
is eternal midnight burning
underneath an avalanche of anguish
Love snuffed cold fire ...
the icy cries keep neverending smouldering
Always ready to soul shatter burst
into a raging blizzard of unmelted tears again
