Forbidden Heart

Love to ashes
dreams to dust,
light to night
heart to rust...
innocence of spirit
stolen in youth,
release is forsaken
darkness is truth,
no voice of choice,
desire, set aside,
for this game of pain
I do abide,
affection's cleansing is feigned
under misery's spell
as I sink back
into this shell of hell

I'm the queen of ice,
ruler of underworld's dark sleep,
the need for companion arms
smolders ever deep,
yet, I do not chance
love or romance,
the wisp of cupid's wings in air
is a foreign language
to a heart that refuses to care
unable to deciphor it's breath of peace,
in the depths of beguilling torment,
loneliness, without cease

if you choose to
embrace this heart of mine,
lest you be aware...
it may burn you over time
with the sting of ice
tainting your purity of feeling,
for, this heart is not candycoated
with sugar and spice,
I am not made up of pearls
or goldilock curls

if the walls of my ruins
could talk,
their screams
would puncture your ears...
curseful shrill
from the tears of captive years
accompanied by symphony
of skeletions in the closet of chill

so, here's my heart in all it's glory,
I am the ice queen,
ruler of cold,
mysterious nomad,
unable to hold,
no man before
could read the hieroglyphics
of it's uneven beat...
unyielding code,
do you gamble with defeat?
black, cracked and decayed
beyond measure of fix,
failure will be yours,
I've seen your bag of tricks,
do you think you can win
when I have rejected God's glue?

here's my humpty dumpty heart,
melt it...
I dare you

A well done poem, but I wouldn't recomend it as a way to get true love.  Joyce

I am bound by this, you see...to become Night's sole mistress, and I am jealous in my endeavours for his attention.
