Could the Ice Queen Feel

Could The Ice Queen Feel

She was beyond such things
her skin did not move
leave tracks from
lives of laughter and tears.

Beautiful as a mannequin
in a shop window
her smile quivers over
razor teeth, ready to bite hearts
quell hope in all who love her.

Yet deep within her eyes
close to soulfire's still embers 
was a memory
huddled, waiting.

Richard Evans November 2, 2017 at 2:39 PM "close to soulfire's still embers." Wow! This line is so cool. In a poetic kinda' way. Thanks for sharing this one Pat. Patricia Cresswell November 2, 2017 at 3:45 PM Thank you Richard.

Peter Rees November 1, 2017 at 12:20 PM Oh my! Deep and sinister and yet with a tiny glimmer of hope. Exquisite use of words, Patricia, as ever. Patricia Cresswell November 1, 2017 at 12:27 PM She was really a sad character I think. To be unable to love must be a hell of its own; especially as she wanted someone to love her. Thank you for reading and commenting.
