 Poet 11586

Frostwritten (Edge of  the earth)

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
