Frozen In Time

Frozen in Time Emotions lost, frozen in time. Scream for the warmth of your breath. Words remembered, once stationary Now dance across synapses of the mind Where snowmen watch youthful frolics And broken hearts crumble. Blankets of cold passion embrace a white shroud. Frigid hearts become sentinels of anticipation. Awaiting a magic restoration that will not come. Unfeeling steadily laden with hope... Casts its burden upon a dream. Sorrows mourn. And scream again and again For the warmth of your breath But the chill of reality freezes solid cold. Oh, dreadful, painful rejection. Emotions lost to an icy whirlwind. Warmth, dreams, hopes, and prayers are Lost in the coldest winter storm. A heart frozen in time… © Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen January 5, 2010 P.S. If you are male OR if you prefer, please follow John Loving iii suggestion and substitute "breast" for "breath". It seems to give this poem more depth and pizazz. Thanks John iii for your comment!

A wonderful poem, well-written-eloquent! These are strong emotions to deal with, Dane Ann. Some encouraging words would be, "This too shall pass" if we just hold on. Great write! Hope you've had a real nice day! Peace, Audrey
