I can feel the chill settle
as the ice once again
begins to crystalize
across this heart slowly.

Once it had seemed
to take way to long
for me to allow
the warmth to regain
access to my heart
until......

until that day
when you reached
past my heart
and warmed my soul
with your love.

Now time has changed
what once was,
into something
that might be again.....
and I fear~

I fear that
with each passing day
the chill will prevail
as this ice again forms,
crystalizing,
covering this heart,
protecting it
like a shield until......

until perhaps again
the warmth will not
be able to penetrate
this fortress~

this fortress of ice
around my heart.



On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

Ice foretells
oit os mirror
prism all
its own

No thing eases
suffering so
as ices touch
in its minions

so many things
possible as it
freezes the moment
that being its gift

This is beautiful and so sad. Just allow them in...you will be glad you did for if you never do you may miss the world.

the chill only comes when we ourselves are feeling cold. . .

let the warmth in my friend. . . let it in. . .

heartfelt words. . .

I second what Sven said GS.  If his home is where your love is, then he will return.
Keep your faith sweet poetess.  *s*
