Ghairo Daniels Poet Ode

I C E : ODE TO SELF

few Hearts can fancy dress their
nakedness in icicle Presence
                    fewer minds will slip into 
                                      cemetery’s dusk 
soul appears, no hectic heady harkening
 glancing what is needed 
or already seeded
burning ice
Insight measures wisdom, not cerebral chancing  

few Hearts can fancy dress their nakedness 

silence answers chaos, no questions 
   faith penetratingly poetic peeps
silver edged sheath transmuting bleeps
action cannot dreamscape when 
carriaged Courage is 
                coloured cloak comely 
mission determines doubtless devic discipline 
                                        burning ice
few Hearts can fancy dress their nakedness 

evolution her equanimous earthy core 
                   smoothly dictates exalted 
memory raw
as fear appears, a whispering whimpering head 
         she chooses Laurel-Hardy 
                    jovial jokes instead
body-mind will momentarily magically move 
illusive graped grace to forth face
                                   zero haste
                                burning ice
few Hearts can fancy dress their nakedness 

she grooves all goals with 
                     hidden grace
defining own pinky pace, 
                       trusting Trinity true 
gives mental lucidity a hue 
 
             E equals Endurance, persevering stormy hardships severe ever near, 
                                trials for miles
trancing transforms 
grovelling groundless guile 
                         burning ice
few Hearts can fancy dress their nakedness 

otherworldly veneer 
                                  belies frothy fortitude 
rhombus robust rectitude _________
steady steely solitude 
Sun, opposite pole Lover 
                                       adoringly advises
she embraces its Fire over  
chastising eyes
melting hade Himalayan
                      I C E  to glide  embalmed, 
charmed warmed waters calmed 

few Hearts can fancy dress their nakedness 
                                             I’m burning 
 
                                ICE

Sotto Poet May 26, 2025 at 9:10 AM Dear Ghairo, your poetry on self-discovery, perseverance, and inner strength is fantastic. You weigh candor and bravery to be oneself as she navigates human complexity. The topic covers personal development, faith, and staying optimistic in turmoil and hardship. I just love it, and this is a fave. The voice in my poem is not mine, why, smiles? Ghairo Daniels May 26, 2025 at 9:38 AM ThkU Sotto. I enjoy your accurate perceptions & appreciate your time 4 comment. I thought it sounded AI- ish. Would love to hear you read your poems yourself, so I asked, smiles.
