    Icebox

    I dissolve into nothing and become lost time
    Isolated in this Artic that is the frame of my mind
    I take the form of evolution and redeem a vacant soul
    I blend into the wind trying to find remedies to cure this gaping hole
    Wasn’t I ice?
    How can I not look like rain? 
    Wasn’t I the earth frozen over in misery’s pain? 
    How presumptuous was I to believe that love could and would mend this broken heart
    Emptiness can’t be filled with someone else’s love. 
    Didn’t you realize my dear, that your cup must already be full?
    Well I must have been mistaken, because mine was only heavy with heartache.
    But still empty
    Still Empty…
    Empty Still
    Silence…
    Right here, this is the moment when I feel it
    Listen…..
    Can’t you hear my dying heart?
    Beat
    Beat
    One beat
    Two beats
    Clear

    Artistically ephemeral melancholy, the foundation on which the medium of poetry was built (in my opinion, anyway). Blvdobd2009, I have nothing but the highest expectations that your poem's protagonist will find a ray of sunshine and find herself thawed in the midst of a bright, new day. This is rare and memorable work : )

    wow, you have no idea how much that truly means, I try with every emotion to express myself never holding back because in giving all of myself, I pray that someone else can breathe... I look forward to your comments I really do... Thank You

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
