It is winter now-
the water fights against the air
but to be frozen isn't all that bad,
as if caught in a longing stare.

    

There is a beauty of ice,
time made to be still,
enraptured, captured,
even if against one's will.

Love has a short lifespan,
better to be in photographs,
better to skip the stones she cries
and preserve the light she laughs.

Yo dear passing shadows,

Ice is never good, it hurts, unless you're ice skaking.

Love Bobby

I loved the analogy having to do with ice. Good job.

I've been told that I document life instead of living it... but maybe that's because that short lifespan needs to be captured... to remind a broken heart it actually existed.

Great write!
