ICE
Expression of perfection Microscopically implanted. Fed and tended unheeded, In warm, mystical darkness.
Lifting your head, Your white curls Catch dancing sunbeams, Stopping my heart.
Deep, unabiding misgivings, Murderous in extremis. Totalitarian upheaval. Hopelessly, life shatters.
Crinkling your nose, Your sweet laugh Ripples through warm air Lifting my mood.
Expression of agony, Pain upon pain upon pain. Heartbeat fades and fails. Desperately needful thing.
Opening your hand, Your muddy palm Contains two small stones, Sparking my smile.
Born not of woman Tiny sleeping crumpled face That angel wings touch, Indescribably beautiful thing.
Raising your arms, You’re lifted high. Security in my arms, Meaning to my life.
