He held me in his arms, and I cried
So afraid, so numb and cold within.
Unable to believe that I had found it again
The love in my heart, the joy in my soul.
I had thought that part of me dead
But the flame was still very much alive.
It scorched its way through my forest of fear
And blazed a trail to my frozen heart
Turning my icy kisses into a warm embrace
A raging inferno, which set my soul aflame.
The hatred and pain in me quickly melted
And the icy tears streamed down my face
For I was no longer paralyzed with fear.
the cold had disappeared, along with the hatred.
The soft, spring rain washed away my tears
And, slowly, the winter gave way to green
As these two hearts, bound by the darkness
Caught fire, and burned brightly, side-by-side
Found strength in each other, and stood, united
Against the blizzard of broken dreams.
Two lost souls, and a poem to tell the tale.
Let all hear the voice, so warm and free
The ice in my heart forever melted
By the warmth of love, the light of truth.
And I find the courage to say the words:
"I love you..."
Author notes
After I broke up with my boyfriend of a year, I became so bitter and cold, and I expressed this mostly through my poetry. I was sharing some with my mother one day, and she said, "when you find love again, you'll see the ice melting". Sure enough, I can feel the ice melting, every day that my new love is by my side. He inspires my most powerful, passionate words, and I chose this picture to show the "melting of the ice" that I have experienced.
Will undergo further editing, as this was written over a year ago and is a piece of crap.

Love this one, Laura. Hopeful, against all the odds. Very well written, as well. This is heartwarming, soothing, inspiring work.
"The soft, spring rain washed away my tears
And, slowly, the winter gave way to green"
These are my favourite lines. Spring, rain, washed, green, all give a sense of refreshment and newness.
Five stars, without a doubt.

This was especially heartwarming to read. I just got through a breakup with someone I love deeply. (we are still friends though and he still inspires me even though I'm feeling sad about all that happened.) I'm trying not to turn to ice, but this poem shows that all is not lost even if we do freeze.
Sorry for rambling. But thank you so much for this entry and best of luck in my contest. -
