Frozen Suns

Have you ever tasted snow
Falling from your storm-lid eyes
Capture every crafted flake
Like frozen, bitter butterflies
Shedding ashes on your tongue
Reminders of your requiem

Melting into angels
The land and sky becomes
Rivers to horizons
The violence of the Sun
Glistens as you shake
Your fist down to your knees
The murderer of love
The scorching of your wings

Three long years of evaporating tears
Drowning in your fountain
Of Youth

The mystic faeries whisper secrets
Of rot and flesh and hate--regret
Lying deep within your Winter mountain
Misty, shrouded, tomb--enchanted
Water falls on alabaster
Bones reveal the love you captured

Rethreading nerves into your spine
Perfection tuned, a soul divine

"Arise from your cacophonous dread"
"You're an instrument of light", the faeries said
"You've got melodies weaving through your f*****g head"

Wow, I think the title is superb. Do I sense a theme of Decay and/or Time in this? If so, it's well-written and evokes an appropriate response. Have to say this poem is very good.

Keep up the good work, milady!

Thank you for all your kind words~ There is usually themes of time and decay in most of my writing, so probably. Also a little Portrait of Dorian Gray, and lost love to boot

Yeah, some of my poetry have very similar themes, check them out if you wouldn't mind. ;)

Also I love The Picture of Dorian Gray, still have the book in my room.

wow! dark and dismal for sure .. your poem creates instant conflicts between what i normally see as wonderful things (faeries, butterflies, and snow flakes) and give them such a degraded, almost evil connotation ... whew! i am grateful for the closing lines as a brae battle cry given .. and at least some of the faeries are awakened ;) aaaaaa Happy New Year! :}
