Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Frozen Love

Silvery moon cast shadows
On winters fallen snow
Cracks of ice melt deep down
Echoes of the past resounding
Cold winds howl
As heaviness encases
One by one dreams fade away
Killing the fire that once burned inside
Snow sucks the warmth
Ice crystals refuse to melt
Coldness engulfed the heart
Look at what it has done to me
What it has done to you
We drift in frozen water
Drowning in our sorrows
Frozen crystals of time
surrounding our soul
Tearing our world apart
I float on endless streams
Clutching to stay afloat
Our love dangerous yet beautiful
Encased in blocks of ice.

Andrea Dietrich March 20, 2015 at 11:05 PM I think this is the best of the longer poems because it is a darker one on love. Very creatively done, Phyllis. I sure enjoyed it. can't believe you had left so many poems here that I never knew about!!!
