down with the ice queen

06/2011

the snowflakes fall around me

cold sweat cleaves to my skin

my icy breath shows in the frigid air

my lungs ache from the inclemency

this numbing hyperbole is weighing me down

I have trod so far through this blizzard 

climbing glaciers and dodging bullets

thrown from your guns that are trained against me

chilled to the bone is an understatement

my blood coagulates in your arctic realm 

frost benumbs over frost, sticking to my face

blacken feet stings from this forbidden journey

but I am here to rain hell on your parade

to melt the icicles of your fraudulence 

I will swelter down the castles you have built

in this tundra that you call your heart

I will have my revenge, fire and brimstone

I will leave you forgotten and desolate

fragments for my imagination to play with

claw at the walls of your regrets

Very well said Joshua. Sort of discribes Narnia in the clutches of that wicked Queen before she was cast out. But then I could be way off the mark and it simply discribes the pain you experianced in a past relationship. Then again it could be none of these and I am reading into it what is not there to be read. None the less a very well written poem my friend...!

I really like this poem, It is amazing, as most your poems are.

I am REALLY excited that you decided to use temperature as a way to express yourself. The two extremes-ice and fire-are always so powerful and aggressive. It always makes for an interesting description. Very well done.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Very nice. Your use of ice as a comparison to the worst woman ever is stunning.
