The Coldest Heart (a sonnet) Is it the bitter cold or winter wind? That steals the heat from I and loves hot flame. This heart to be the victim of my sins; Before I found the light of kinder ways. Every warmth that touches these saddened eyes, Is welcomed with a sweet and gentle kiss. Too soon to cloud and freeze like winters sky; Now left are memories of moment's bliss. But you, the question of confusing dreams, Whose words may crack my cold and frozen night? You'll find a way to me through sewn seams, If sprinkled love within confetti white. So come to me and heat this lovers dark, I know your touch will thaw the coldest heart. James Parker Haley (c) Dec 30, 2000 |

"But you, the question of confusing dreams, Whose words may crack my cold and frozen night? You'll find a way to me through sewn seams, If sprinkled love within confetti white." Wonderful Parker! Vivid imagery permeates these lines, beautifully written! Best wishes from a fellow frozen Canuk, /Kit |
