Timothy Hicks Poet Lyric

Thin Ice

Darling you're a dim bulb
That's far too afraid to shine
Full of whimsical charm
That's difficult to define

An excellent mountaineer
That's too scared to climb the vine
The Beanstalk reaches the clouds
Imagine what we will find

Kick off your goody two shoes
And wrap yourself in leather
I don't want no sugar and spice
And show me your newest tattoo
In the regions of the nether
Love is stronger when we're on thin ice

Upon this frozen lake
Silver blades mark a design
Within the transparent image
Smiling faces of you and I

Though we've had our falls
And crossed many fine lines
We always pick ourselves up
Like a love so divine

We'll bolt through walls tightly glued
Reveal secrets long tethered
Don't calculate just throw the dice
And I will buy us both a brew
Make us feel light as a feather
Love is stronger when we're on thin ice

We'll dance on this reflective floor
Feel the shiver down our spines
And hear it crack beneath our feet
As we run for our lives

Though we're still in elegant form
With our hands intertwined
And though our chances are slim
I'll feel at ease knowing you're mine!

This night I'll fall deep in you
Against the shaky weather
Cause you and I, a perfect splice
I'll break this heart and make it new
Under this storm we're together
Love is stronger when we're on thin ice



NOTE: When I first started writing I was more into lyrics into poetry (though this might be more of a mix). I found an old piece that I've forgotten about.

Arthur Vaso February 10, 2016 at 4:49 PM The first line threw me for a loop, but as I read this, this walk on the dark side, loved it! Isn't it great when we find old stuff we have written? Timothy Hicks February 11, 2016 at 5:14 PM Yup. It's like finding a hidden nugget that you forgot about!

Connie Marcum Wong February 9, 2016 at 11:56 PM I enjoyed this Tim. Many are attracted to a bit of danger. Keepslife exciting! Timothy Hicks February 10, 2016 at 2:36 PM Agreed. Happy you could stop by, Connie! :)

Andrea Dietrich February 9, 2016 at 3:55 PM I love when you do metaphors, Timothy. I really enjoyed this one!! I was only four eyes for a short while. I worked all summer picking strawberries so I could buy my first hard contact lenses. Oh the pain one endures for vanity sake. It took me days to adjust to rocks in my eyes. Timothy Hicks February 10, 2016 at 2:35 PM Glad you enjoyed ... it was fun envisioning a life of love like an ice-skating rink on a pond! After hearing your experience with glasses and contact lens, I change my mind about wishing to wear them!

Richard Lamoureux February 9, 2016 at 1:27 PM I like the daring nature of this piece. I hope she was up to exploring the daring side of her nature. Timothy Hicks February 10, 2016 at 2:32 PM Daring ... a great word to describe this, yes! Glad you could stop by, my friend.

Paul Callus February 9, 2016 at 7:13 AM She has much to give and share, and with help and encouragement she will become more daring; the thrill of it all will contribute to a stronger relationship. ~ A lovely write...though I was kind of hoping it was inspired by something recent, till I read the footnote:) // paul Timothy Hicks February 10, 2016 at 2:31 PM Perhaps it might have been better leaving everyone in mystery and suspense. Lol. I had loads of fun writing this one :)

Suzanne Delaney February 8, 2016 at 10:31 PM The second to last stanza made me think of Ginger Rogers & Fred Astaire . I do relate to the goody two shoes wrapped in leather...cfm's on a Saturdy night. I love you style in this one, purposely mixing cliché with very inventive phrases. Enjoyed the thin ice. Yours in poetry, SuZ Thanks for your comments today. Timothy Hicks February 10, 2016 at 2:30 PM Ha! Good observation about the Fred Astaire bit. I find myself often playing around with well known phrases and trying to twist them a bit ... it's enjoyable for me! Thanks for the visits, always.
