The wintry water isn't cold anymore,
I could bear its tremor.
The silent breeze; it's chill,
Taste blissfully calm
But your love frost my heart.
Let me take my step back
I could stand you no more -
This pain ceases to stop
And I couldn't live a breathless life.
Your love weaved like a season -
And I stood like a sturdy oak,
The gentle breeze, the roaring waves,
I sipped them all - stood still unmoved.
Like a longing bird - carved a cradle
Within my heart, soft and warm,
Yet you wouldn't sit nor feel them -
Is this how destiny weaved our souls apart?
My love isn't worn out nor the spark dead or gone,
Yet I wouldn't flame it bright again -
The pain's too much - when love couldn't reap.
Let it sit like a dying ember, never sparkle again.
My darling the weather’s in change
The seasonal whirlwind came close
Last night when we talked it went strange
Time stopped and we suddenly froze
It was more than a technical glitch
The wheel of time rolled on our faces
It rolled, and we didn’t reswitch
But helplessly watched from our places
My darling I strive to continue
Without a course, back and forth
I gave it all to be within you
You smile from the image of yours..
Slowdown, it’s hailing
My hands outside the window
God tears have frozen
Daily, thawed car locks
Nightly, frost freeze them again
Never ending game!
He seems to be new and I so cool
Walk over to introduce myself
I notice a clue his polished shoes
And the badges shiny on his belt
It seems my desk was a mess
As the man had searched high and low
I'm Bob he says with the IRS
Your company's assets will be froze
In fact lady come with me
There are questions for you and news
Today was a good day indeed
For the audited IRS blues.

As the wind blew strong on the face
The head tipped downward, in this place
Lost in the fog, with pelting sleet
Would there be two tracks that will meet?
Then a touch of a fingertip,
Wiped the last tear drop from a drip
Before it froze with a heart closed
Love’s warmth cured the danger it posed

The clock on the wall is froze on passed time.
Your memory is my future.
I force myself to smile.
No one can understand how my heart truly feels.
I want you back with me
To replace the pain
Thats real.
On your side of the bed,
Is where you once would lay.
Down to rest from working
Long hours every day.
I watch for you each evening, to drive up our driveway.
To welcome you back home
Is my false reality.
I feel your presence around me.
I know its you because,
You are the only one
That i let in.
I have always loved.
My mind tries answering questions,
My heart seems to ask..
Lord i would give anything
To have you come back.
I know your final decision, is between you and God.
All i want for you,
Is peace and happy thoughts.
Ill see you again one day
When HE calls my name.
No doubt in my mind
You and mother will greet me at the Gates.
I send you all my love from my heart to yours.
Protect me and watch over each of our family from above.
the yellow slant of the squinting sun
silently swallowed the black of green
red roads ascended to the pretty sky
n sorrow spilled down the stream quietly
streames giggled
bangles clinked
my soul rocketed
to the realms unknowned
haunting the conscience,deep within
hymning angels caressing the heart n
deep abyss gladly in
emptiness stares
darkness surrounds
depth of darkness, intoxicates
musk of silence lingers
dearth of thoughts
eyes stared into the brain
no ripples
end of the flame
blowing wind stopped to a halt
blood froze in its track
the track of birth and life and love
for a new
existence

So long, so very long, since the coal has burst to flame;
I have trained with restraint the green eyed monster cursed to flame.
For love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy ...
I would not have my love for you eternally accursed to flame.
I lost you, yes I lost you, and I often wonder if ...
jealousy displayed by me, betrayed me, was coerced to flame.
As your eyes left mine, as your soul sought hers; I burned.
Yet, love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth; it bursts to flame.
In love, for love, I banked my jealous flame in eternal ice
for love's not proud, not rude, it's not self-seeking, so I put my worst to flame.
My memories of you, a gift freely given, and so released
for I hope, and trust, we'll be blessed and love will not release the curse to flame.
Corinthians 13:4-8
Everything Froze
a giant crystal wind chime spread its tone
teeth of icicles consumed a home
misted rain encased fence posts and rail
power lines succumb to winter’s weight and fail
vehicles in free style pirouettes
slide beneath the curtain call of white
taunted by the feigned applause of wind
stinging critic of a dance that will not end
children do the snow day dance of glee
parents know how long this day will be
until the child that lives within them all
makes and throws the season’s first snowball
streets await the toothbrush of the plow
snow men don old hats and carrot nose
angels in the snow cold trumpets blow
to celebrate the day everything froze

His WHAT Froze Off?
By Elton Camp
Yesterday Rob was outside blowing snow
The temperature was eleven degrees below
The wind chill made it feel very much worse
The spell of freezing weather he began to curse
Suddenly he heard a thumping sound
What a shock when Rob turned around
It was so weird what he then found
His gluteus maximus on the ground
That was a saying he’d always heard
That it could be real had never occurred
I was obsessed
with a thought of winning her
but my true feelings she never assessed
yet hope I lost never
hoping that positivity wins ever
I continued to impress with feelings pure and true
she smiled, said meet at marriage court next hour
madly joyous, dreamt proposal-cum-marriage, wait worth due
There she was with her fiancé, me not having any clue
my world came crashing down
she just wanted me to be witness for their vows “ I do”
my fingers froze on sultry noon
still somehow signed the Register
thinking destiny wishing for me something better

My heart stop sometimes and then it skips beats what is it
telling me???
That my life is short and if I don't get you back it will stop
completely
Come back to me and heal this froze heart of mine take me
into your arms
and embraces me with this pain
Give me that nice and understanding part of you bring the
sun into my darkness of love that I have because
of you life couldn't be better without use together so open
up them windows and let the sun shine in
Renew our friendship to inreplaceable pull together the
strength of love and forever keep use hole
My hands sway back and forth frozen to the bone,
The chilled air no longer felt,
They know they're all alone,
Determination keeps the body on its destined path,
Knowing it will soon be warm in your home,
Safe from the weathers cold wrath
