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.

Peter Rees Date: 11/1/2017 12:20:00 PM Oh my! Deep and sinister and yet with a tiny glimmer of hope. Exquisite use of words, Patricia, as ever.

Thank you for reading and commenting.
