Soul gripped with an icy glove frozen by the hand of her lost love Crystals make a dazzling scene She’s been crowned the Glacial Queen There’s not a flame to melt the bars nor healing for the buried scars She’ll not weep for lover’s past nor believe that love can last Once bronzed by Passion’s fire her soul did burn with desire Promised walks in eternity loved with such sweet purity She woke one day and he was gone cold and alone she met the dawn No trace of him left behind only love to haunt her mind One dark day his grave was found under the snowy earth he was crowned She lay and wept upon the stone till frozen and weary to the bone She walked away a frozen tomb where only shadows dare to loom Left upon his silent grave glistened the tears of love she gave A sunlit ray danced upon their form like a rare sparkling gem to adorn Within a winter breeze they froze and formed a single....perfect rose  |

Holly, I do believe you've transcended the cocoon stage of writing and have completely metamorphosized into the butterfly of beauty that you were always meant to be.... This...is a poem. And it belongs in everyone's library... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Oh, my Butterfly, I wish I could weave my words to make pictures like this in my mind! I love it and can't wait to "see" more of your words. Love y'all, ME |

Now look who is posting poetic perfection and taking us all into the depths of total awe with her writing. This my friend is just lovely and though it is one of sadness, when I look deep into it, I find the total strength of love all that it has to offer. Yes, the PERFECT ROSE for sure just as you are the perfect butterfly. |

BDC, My dear friend, this one is hauntingly beautiful. The end is absolutely perfect. You have grown in leaps and your writing reflects that. Loved this tale you told so well. Great work. **AW HUGS** LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Wow! This is an excellent piece!! So well written, a painted picture filled my head, making me regret that not a single drop of artistic juice runs through me, this needs a fantastic oil painting to adorn it. I absolutely love it! With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free.. dragonpoe |
