To wander through this vast expanse
a captive heart enthralled,
bereft of human contact, by
one's own emotions walled

in glacial drifts carved by a look
and cold uncaring smiles,
of eons spent in true remorse
for fools and frigid wiles.

Encapsulated by this cold
unchanged to a degree,
a love like winter without spring
such is your legacy.

But, know what you've consigned to ice
another life ago's
like none I'll wager ever since,
its depths you'll never know.

A love like winter without spring
preserved for all of time,
forever now beyond your reach,
that's payback, most sublime.

You have enormous powers of description. The imagery fits the message so effectively that I am drawn into the scene!

Art,
Lol, thanks for saying so, but now, having been granted such powers, must I pledge to only use them for "good"?
