Tearful Glaciers

Tearful glaciers are love’s graveyard,

where innocent time once started,
where affection and tenderness once reigned,
where all was the one of all.

For the wounded…

Missteps were a time when passions met,
lust was mistaken for love,
where impatience became blood of the future,
where promises were forgotten.

For the healing…

Memories fade with each tearful purge

cascading through the mantle shifts  

of mind and heart fissures of retreat.

Hurt is shifting now

for the glaciated tears that once were

are succumbing to the fever of resolve.
