Wintry Touch

In the dead of night,_When stars shed a feeble light.__When truth rings of an unspoken lie,_A broken heart can make a grown man cry.__All feelings have turned to frozen things,_That's when the wind sounds like when the Banshee sings.__When all a man is and all that he knows,_Is swept away like the cold drifting snows.__Oh like wolfs that howl at the moon,_A man's life becomes a cold lonely tune.__A heart is broken and pain seems everything,Betrayal of love has a cold hurtful ring.__But only in the night when the wind howls at the eves,_Can one say love is like the deadness of leaves.__Oh only a broken heart makes a man feel so much,_Of a cold lonely nights wintry touch.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
