Frozen

______________________________________ My heart is ice frozen, with a soul forever winter; I have seen too much death, each one chosen, each fate written... oh, I escape in my inner. I fold my petals- an ice rose- and weep, I have gone deep; but, in my dreams I can float to distant shores, and there I am able to close those deathly doors. I lament each beloved, flowers gone to Heaven's azure; names engraved in stone- names I have so loved, I feel cheated that I have lost my treasure. In my heart there is a huge jagged hole, frozen is my soul; oh, will I ever leave this winter so cold, will my petals thaw before I have grown too old. ______________________________ June 17, 2018 Poetry/Rhyme/Frozen Copyright Protected, ID 18-1031-816-01 All Rights Reserved.
