Her Frosty Heart

Hi and welcome to the February group poetry post. Each month we pick a theme, then each blogger chooses their way of interperting that theme into a poem, hiaku, lymeric or prose. Be sure to visit each one as their links are listed at the bottom of this post.

This month's theme...frosty.

Her Frosty Heart

Young love

so hungry and lustful

a heart so warm and free

but oh how cold it becomes

when she is a woman scorned

A once warm loving heart

now cold, ridgidy and unforgiving

She stares out the window 

at lovers walking by

hand in hand

all starry eyed

She snorts and laughs

oh you fools

she says to herself

And then their eyes meet

for a moment the ice begins to melt

her frosty heart

it feels something

She turns and looks the other way

no she has been here before

and will not go down this path

love only becomes lonely nights

Her frosty heart begs

it cries from within

it warms to feel the warmth again

if only for a few fleeting moments

She glances back

but alas he is gone

oh wait, what is this?

He is beside her asking if he may join her

Her frosty heart 

oh it begins to sing

songs of love and spring

the melting begins

she wants to be young and free

to love and be loved

but dare she

yes, she must.
