Frozen

Bitter, dismayed Forever life's maid Desperate, heart-broken Life's only token Crushed and crestfallen Life was a burden Croaking with fear Her breaths were no more dear She stood staring in the mirror of hopelessness Holding her hands stood congealed loneliness A mystical pain grew out of proportion Her thoughts entangled in one dark emotion Scared to death, she shouted A mist like pandemonium mounted Lost again she was in her own purgatory As ever she remained solitary A quiver run down her spine And there she froze as a statue divine

Lovely, my dear. You captured me with the beauty of this write. I hope that it is just poetic expression and not what is going on in your heart, and if it is....there is always joy and love waiting for you to unfreeze you! ;) Thanks for the visit!

Shah, your poems are so sad. Is there no joy in your life? You write with such emotion and pathos. Cannot you find the words to the other side? Allan
