Tainted Want

 

Tears drip

into a lake of longing

and the stain seeps;

transforming it

into a sea of woes.

 

Frozen limbs scrape

against rocky alcoves.

Bodies struggle

through icy oceans.

Fingers blue and clumsy,

bitten by frost.

 

Rocks rich with moss, seeping

into outstretched limbs.

Stagnant waters, laced with salt.

Frozen to its center.

    Lots of emotion shown in the images created...I could feel the cold- like when that rush down the spine when I get the chills. Well done.
