Two poems (not songs, just poems). Prompted by Ty for “Opposites”, and by Adrian for imagery and metaphors.

Ice

Crystal clear, these thoughts will ring
Through the fragile air of December
Beautiful silence sliced through, clean
By words echoing here forever

Lace-like dreams and misty spectres
Drifting into my days in December
Kisses of snowflakes and whispers of feathers
That touch of winter I will always remember

Frozen by your quiet voice and your serene eyes
Open to the dawns and clouds of December
That drop of sunlight at the tip of the ice
Is the key to a place I can never enter.

Fire

Dying embers deep inside glow with hope and warmth
Believing in a future of light and new starts
Keep this candle lit through the winter storm
With kind words, soft gaze, open heart

Closed eyes and held hands and warm covers and smiles
Dreams of shining suns and radiance
Fantasies of a summer when the world stopped for a while
Baskets of joy and patience

Slow songs, slow dances, in the candlelight
Roaring fires warming our lives
Deep down, I feel happiness, soaring high
Warm and gold, this courage is mine.

~end~
