Echoes and Ice

I am a blank canvas
paint me,
bring me
to colours, of deepest hue
let me cry without tears
love without words.

I am an autumn day
walk with me,
sing to me
of songs that were sung
before people could speak,
just dance.

I am ice.
The shadow of ice,
the shadow of something
that's something else.
In a different light

I am:
heat,
emanating from your eyes
I am:
touch,
at the tip of your tongue
I am:
the taste,
of blind love searched for
by blind fingers
I am:
the smell,
of nothing but wet roses
after a storm
I am the storm:
bold, shattering, breaking, writhing,
shaking, hurting, folding, flowing,
screaming, crying, lighting, breathing,
living, loving, hating, killing, dying.

I am:
an echo.
A repetition of the words I used to know,
a ghost of words that used to have a meaning.
Until I said them too loud,
too many times
an echo, an echo
saying:
I am
what I am,
what I am,
what I am,
what I am...

    Very good poem. I like the structure; You kept to the topic and theme but you changed up the layout so it didn't become tedious. The wording was great as well.
