There is a phrase from one of my posts to Dark that I would like to see expanded upon.

"souls like crystal snowflakes"

Anyone care to give it a try?

Let me know if so and I would love to read the results.

I know this is not what you expected...I put an apostrophe in a key word to make it work for me:


Her soul’s like crystal snowflakes
Broken easily amid the dust
Shattered from the pleadings
‘You must! You must! You must!’

She only wants to dissolve like ice
Wants to just to melt away
But icy breath of haunting lovers
Entreat her yet to stay

Trampling her gentle heart
Devouring her life’s source
All the while, lovers claim
‘I love you only, of course!’

When her spirit is sapped
Picked dry and left to die
Lovers will ne’er look back
Nor do they hear her sigh

A melting tear of crystal
Lies now beside her cheek
Would life have been so good
If she were not so meek.

Lady deVine I would have to say I am impressed with your skill at wordcrafting. 'Tis a challenge well met.
