Escape

My heart eloped with a dream

And found a cabin at that place where heartache ends

I found peace in the joy of simply cutting wood

And listened to the stories a burning fire tells

While the wild ducks laughed that the hunter missed

If you ever get there, the door’s always open

I may be out getting wild honey �"

You know my sweet tooth is stronger than my common sense

I sleep better now with stars above my soul

So you’re welcome to take the fire couch

Please keep the fire burning

So that I’ll know to stay away

And savor again, the feeling of ice-cold dew on my skin

I am sorry to prove you wrong �"

I guess love does not always thaw a frozen heart.

Very nicely presented. The closing line jumps off the page to reach the heart of your reader. ~Sharon

Thanks Sharon....hopefully that jump is reaching the summit of understanding, and not down a bridge...:P

Love can remove anything
and who doesn't believe so
behind every serious act of building and being constructive is a great deal of emotion that goes unnoticed
undocumented and off the record
but has profound presence
no doubt

[SleeplessVolcano]

Is it not sad when emotion goes unnoticed? What possibly could be worse is when emotion is truly there, but its' existence is denied..... So sad....

I deny nothing
Everything is right there
I just feel he sees nothing

i think this is priceless:
"Please keep the fire burning
So that I’ll know to stay away"
that cabin has always been my dream so the turn in your poem caught me off guard .. so unique .. "...sorry to prove you wrong" perhaps a frozen heart can be a very good thing indeed ... free to love the stars and winter's frozen world eh!?
