This clock let forth one painful scream
Bliss time shrank, as a speck of dream
Just one drop of rain ruined peace
Must hide from massive flash

Apricity

She is the comfort
On a windy winter’s day
His frozen heart thaws
With apricity’s embrace
To greet the warmth with her kiss

Time Thaws

Ice of yesterday 
Burdened by the frigid depths
Now flows under the bridge

Spring Thaws - Wujue

Spring thaws / warms cold ground
Seed sprouts / love seeks light
Air cools / hearts feel strain
Frost comes / Fates rule night

As Time Thaws

as the thousand stares meet in cold eyecontact
is it my warm face that melts infinity ? 
or is it the longing for embrace that lacks
the harsh reality or glaring pity 
that my mirrored reflection holds 

they watch me when i need them most
the ever present star that tears
the ball of fire from my chest
and leaves

Snowball Thaws

Drip drop, splish splat, flip flop,
tick-tock, drops like clock,
chimes click away
as ice thaws
dribble
jots

Her Heart Thaws

Her Heart Thaws


Ice crystals in her heart soon departed
as she met another very broken hearted
Gentle man destroyed by very dark witch
untrue to feed her gigantic greedy itch

Now bloody swords have been withdrawn
sun emerges, wind sings a sweet song
Old scars vanishing without a trace
smiles sprouting upon each happy face

Scales of justice now right old wrongs
joys spring

Snow Thaws

snow thaws on mountains - -
goats feed their kids and munch 
brightly coloured plants

A Frozen Flower Thaws

Delicate flower, you have been growing alone for too long.
The soil round your feet was frozen by winter,
Your petals were brittle, their colour near gone. 

But just like the ocean that carves through rock or softens a stone, 
The hardness, a coldness, is starting to fade,
Because his warmth can change you, and make you his
