ice hung from her face, dangling
               off her lashes, closing her eyes for eternity.

               her fingers a bitter ghost that numbs
               as they glide over the cracks
                    silencing the unspoken screams
                    poised on now frozen lips,

panic should be swelling instead
          of ebbing, skating away, smooth.

                  never would have guessed
                  how comforting the cold would be,

a fragile balance
so easily broken
but serene.

       a walk on thin ice,
                             chancing life and meeting death.
a soul frozen
is as cold as death...

no tears fall
afraid of the warmth
and the painful defrost.


needs a lot of work. I have not written in awhile. please feel free to critique.




I will be catching on things shortly. Give me a little time.
