Barren tundras like cold
oblivion; thunder-clouded
frost on black toes.
Gray eyes see no glory in
frozen worlds gone dark...
Lashes upon lashes lay tight
over realms of pain, like secrets
to the emptiness surrounding
all the snow-
and I realize there is nothing

Really have nothing to add...save outstanding! best parts to me:"Barren tundras like cold
oblivion; thunder-clouded..." and "Lashes upon lashes lay tight
over realms of pain, like secrets
to the emptiness surrounding" Best to you

Commentary
There's not many times where a write can leave a person thinking about something more deeply metaphorical especially when its being done without them realizing it. Good luck in the contest -
Beautifully sad :[
