Frozen Feelings

Getting over it ............

Frozen Feelings

Harsh words can profoundly bring lasting hurt

They have the ability to humiliate and destroy

But only have power if the listener can feel

Coarse verbal's bounce like flat smooth stones

Off an emotional lake of case hardened steel

A deep soul is locked within a unmovable cavern

Did the mental accompaniments of my emotions

Surrender to patterns of meaningless frozen feelings

Upon those unrelenting painful experiences

Recognition of this frigid damned up crippling

Brings a searching for inner strength and thaw

A reconnection with positive healing energies

Homoeostasis within body and weakened soul

Time to break and bind foregone insane traumas

Bringing glorious summer warmth to a mending heart

I love the metaphors.. the emotional lake, frozen feelings, frigid damned up, break the bind, glorious summer, mending heart. Or are they descriptive words?. Either way, I think the poem could be symbolic of many healing processes. I really enjoyed it.

This is a beautiful poem. It sticks with you and every phrase resonates. This is an emotional piece that works very well. Excellent word choice. Good job!

Your word choices seem to be a little harsh-sounding & directly spoken in places, which is fitting for your message. I think writing with many multi-syllabic words can have a "stilted" sound . . . which in many cases I would want to "correct" . . . but in your poem, this stilted sound is right for the message . . . as if the narrator is somewhat devoid of feeling . . . and I understand that the feeling is returning . . . maybe it would be good to have a little more of the sunshine at the end, maybe one more stanza to fully soak it in.

Starts out easy-breathed, then with each transition and space of verse... It transforms into a more and more complex beast... Absolutely fantastic word-choice, eerie, almost, how you dance between simple and intricate with such ease... Gloriously penned...

This was beautiful! I think all of us need to be mended at one point in our life. I was able to capture how you were feeling. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. :)

There comes a point in which one must decide whether or not a relationship contains enough substance in order to continue or pursue a future...

"Did the mental accompaniments of my emotions

It all comes down to the capacity of the heart to feel things, I think...

A really nice write. I like your word choices here.
