Frostwritten (Edge of the earth) By aldo kraas, www.PoetryPoem.com/poet11586 Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime
Amounting to more than my heart can hold
Stainedsilver cuts deep with its poisonous blade
The pen in my hand remains bitterly cold to the touch
I write my pleas with ice-coated words
Words that melt swiftly as they dance upon coals
Coals of a fiery and deceitful tongue
As I tiptoe along the edge of the earth and back
I notice there is scarcely a whisper in the wind
Imprecise eyes see only brackish blinks now
Fallen memories have piled outside my door
But yet my footprints are still sprinkled across the field
And I retreat back to my haven of simple thoughts
I am hallucinating as I watch pieces of me chipped away
As though I am a sculpture for winter's amusement
Merely a plaything of this everlasting frost
