Frozen
Frozen tears, too long held inside
Are touched by the sunlight of your love.
They begin to thaw, glistening
Tears that welled in my eyes without falling
Are now at last released
From my soul,in a long sad wail
That rocks us to the core.
Within the black cloud, utterly witout hope
Despair is allowed to emerge
And in your arms, I grieve in the storm
Wracked by the force of the gale
Cloaked
The void surrounds me like a cloak.
Heavy and warm, it lays about my shoulders,
Bleak and colorless and dark,
My only defense against the mindless pain.
Yet the lifeforce, pierced, seeps from my soul,
Draining me of color, words,hope...
Where has the light gone? Where, joy?
Stark lifeless form surrounds me
All is the same... stale vistas of despair.
I raise my face to the source, pleading
Refuge from grief, sanity in madness
But through the mist I cannot see.
Regrets and sorrow seize my mind
Til I bend beneath the weight
And cower, weeping to the dark
Hidden in the folds of the cloak...
