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.

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!!!
