[Poem] - "Snowless Winter"
Posted: Wed Dec 27, 2006 8:42 pm
This roaming winter road I travel on,
is besotted with missing, reckless abandon.
I sit and sift through the ashes of a hope,
and find myself high on a ledge, with no rope.
I look inward, and there rests a claw,
it rakes across me, opening a maw
of chest flesh;
a little, cumbersome reminder,
that snow doesn't fall in Hell.
Currents on the winds slap,
and my face protests these ministrations.
I turn away from that which burns,
but with ice, not with fire,
an invisible demonic surge against me.
I look outside and see silent freezing,
the snow is gone from my fields of grieving.
is besotted with missing, reckless abandon.
I sit and sift through the ashes of a hope,
and find myself high on a ledge, with no rope.
I look inward, and there rests a claw,
it rakes across me, opening a maw
of chest flesh;
a little, cumbersome reminder,
that snow doesn't fall in Hell.
Currents on the winds slap,
and my face protests these ministrations.
I turn away from that which burns,
but with ice, not with fire,
an invisible demonic surge against me.
I look outside and see silent freezing,
the snow is gone from my fields of grieving.
