Notes About The Poem

Deliquescence: To Thaw a Frozen Heart

Detached from reality
He gazes haughtily
From the cold aloofness
Of his desolate pinnacle...
Far below
Dressed in vivid green and mauve
She patiently waits
Yearning to catch his wandering eye.

His face is stone cold, snow white
And yet he seems to notice me
A fledgling meadow
Needing sustenance to survive...
May passion's fire grow to melt his heart
So I, too, may thrive
And add a touch of colour
To his world of black and white.

Chris Green March 27, 2017 at 7:11 AM This was beautiful, a wonderfully written collaboration. Bravo to both poets, the piece is seamless and I love the personality you have given to the mountain and the valley and how both need each other to survive. Really nice.

Paul Callus March 26, 2017 at 1:17 PM Hi Carolyn...thank you for being a lovely and willing collaborator:) Always a pleasure to mix ink with you. I noticed how you got the mountains rising high up, really aloof! Love & hugs ~ paul Carolyn Devonshire March 26, 2017 at 1:50 PM I didn't try to "stretch" the mountains. That's just the way the link worked. Always a joy to write with you, Paul!
