Tears drip and fall down,
disappearing on my skin.
Swallowed by the ice
The sadness prevails,
enshrouding this heart of light
in darkness too thick.
Frozen in place like
a marbled statue, veined
in winter's blue shades.
Warmth sneaks in past the
cold, a velvet caress felt
unbidden by me.
Push the touch away.
It burns through layers of self
recrimination.
Ice princess. Frozen
angel trapped in this garden
of the forgotten.
Wandered here too long
ago. I can't remember
how to live again.

"I can't remember how to live again"
Awesome line.

The warmth of your heart will melt the frozen angel from the inside out. Many seeds are now dreaming of that day when they will burst through the frozen soil. Remembrance of the Joy of Life is within them, looking forward to the opportunity to dance with the sun.
Love & Light,

Bare bones, succinct verse; darkness haunts this garden of poetry; but dammit, it's AWESOME work. The pic accentuates each word, very well done!
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

A full course poetic meal in this "Garden" party... ~ to nourish any refined guest ~ IS ON THE HOUSE.
"Garden" has paid its poetic dues as a golden page to the history of Poetry.
I enjoyed the reading of "Garden".
I salute You, Poet!
