Her name is silent No syllables No vowels or consonants She is simply the hush within her crystal walls The glimmer is a lie Even though the sparkle Upon her eyes and lips Soften the pallor Of her Violet skin She can know only the cold. Slick in the glassy fortress She slides down the halls Of lifeless. Snapping blue Snow flowers, that fracture In her numb hands. Crying Doesn't come, frostbite does. Her fridged breath is her only companion. Her heart beats So slowly it ticks, and echoes Through the castle, Like the Dripping of water from an Icicle. If only she had warmed By the heartfires of giving. For now she begs to crack open And shatter into flakes That she knows will only disappear Such is so, The Ashes of an Ice Queen |

Enjoyed this so much it made me shiver. Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
