Lack of Love

I know what makes you Cruel
… the same thing, makes me Cold
an Utter Lack of Love
if the Truth, be Told …

… a Harsh, Razor-Reality
A Frozen Heart – Is So Icy
… like a Solid-Block Picture-Frame
nothing Shows Thru… not even Shame

I know what makes some Cruel
… the same thing, leaves me Cold
like some Emotional, Ice-Pick
that Chips away and Scolds…

I hear your Fear, tho’ not Spoken
it Glazes over Frostbit and Broken
a Rage and Ache, which Never Stops
like and Icicle-Spear, that Never Drops

… take Alcohol… Its hard to Freeze
But even in Your Vapor Breeze
Your Lungs Compress a Frigid-Squeeze
You, start to Shiver, Swear and Sneeze

and I Watch Your Nippy-Nose Bleed
and Your Callous, Chilling-Deeds
for No Matter, How Low You Go…
You Can’t Survive… in Sub-Zero…

I know what makes You Cruel
Same thing, makes me Cold
an Utter Lack of Love…
 Deep within Your Soul

For there’s no Fire, in a Crystal Jewel
until a Sparkle … Rules

* * * Avalanche ! … Meet My Echo !
Your Storm-Blizzard… is Only Snow
And Icebergs Which Block… Must Thaw
You Must Melt… It Is  Love’s Law! …

For Every Sole-Snowflake’s Goal
is to Join Another and Blanket Whole…

I know what makes You Cruel
… the same thing, leaves me Cold …

Another cool write lady, 'Perfect love doth cast out Fear" or melts which ever form fear chooses to manifest in. In any case, love's law dissolves it into nothing.God Bless, Sincerely Moses Oh yes ofcourse I am fed by your witty writes, keep them comming!
