Gilt and Glib

Innocent and full of wonder
Quick to love
Slow to trust
Not slow enough
Whispered promises and
Trepidicious caresses
Eyes lulled closed
Frost creeping
Slow icy death of
An internal winter
The last leaf of hope falls
Winter shrouds the heart in ice
Rent and frozen in time
Pain screams without sound
A lifetime passes
Pressure mounts
Shards cut so deeply
Lifeblood begins to weep
As the heart raises its own light
Stirs to thaw
The once loved stranger
Gilt and glib
Seizes the last frozen shard
And sending the bolt home 
Tolls the final knell of innocence
Dawns freedom

Poet Destroyer A Date: 3/17/2016 10:48:00 PM Alice, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
