Soul of Frost

You worked your way out ward the cold hair wet with snow the face splotched also the snow covered
Clothes told the story of a life was it embittered did it reject the warmth of friends for isolation did it
Believe there was more value to toss caution to the wind go it alone curb your instinct to be one with
The crowd you desired to be distinctive one of a kind but there lies danger when you remain a stranger
You can do so many things with connections but your lonely eyes tell the story you find no warmth in a
Shadowed land its like you are walking among the tombs of others before it is time to do so the hearth
And door of the lovely only presents the coldest sight it is not by their slight but by your calculated
Choosing to be open to you means weakness so you forbear the cold you create hard stares misunderstanding it
Rocks gentle climes you answer in kind deeper harder the ice it increases your voice speaks with a hard
Edge you leave no question your word to the word is leave me alone I don’t take anything off anyone yes smiles and
Tenderness will keep their distance and the cold wind blows even harder you take it as the cost you
Must pay to be you and be safe they will never find you begging the answer is control don’t ever let go
Of emotions you seek not a world of sand that will crumble you planned well you fought to be fearless
It worked no one is tougher it shows by the rough cold exterior you fix them with that dead stare a
Lifeless pall pushes them to a distant length you have all the space not much finds its way through the
Barrier you built with coldest stone it has been reinforced over the ensuing years the girl that once was
Truly died and a woman was born from those death pangs a great gulf you spanned a city that can’t be
Breached a municipality of steel and concrete hard for light and sound even to penetrate this
Conscious fixed shield it shows in the dull glow of your skin you set out to make the world according to
Your mind set to bad it was flawed no peace not even a semblance shows you did a perfect job in closing
Out the world trouble now you are its prisoner there is no set end for your sentence the farther you go
The deeper the chasm of cold grows this maze knows no end somewhere you will be found moving to
Your own vision and design don’t worry no one will disturb you its funny ice is fun to create statues but
They hold your attention only for a short time then the living turn away to more interesting and timely
Pursuits oh lost soul you have no ability to turn away you created this marvel you are beautiful the
Picture of taste an empty promise with the coldest face no one desires to touch just a cold stare is all
They will ever offer the queen of ice what a deadly price to have a kingdom of indescribable coolness
Where only dead emotions ever are expressed nobody knows your state of mind its quiet distant maybe
You beat the odds a cold hard heart fixes all that is wrong the stars make the heavens wondrous all
The world ponders their existence maybe this will be your lasting glory as you stand aloof and alone
One human one soul of frost look what it bought your pedestal a terrific spot in winter’s eternal garden
