Fear Chills the Heart

icicles  dripping on  a  disenchanted  heart
stalls it’s rhythm right from the start
desire of love is absent to  its core  
like an  paradise island  without a shore

a cold heart remains  silent and does not bond  
remains aloft and does not wish to correspond   
freedom of love had been torn  from its veins 
now sheltered  in fear which takes the reins.
