Yo! Snow flakes befall yourselves in my ears,
speak to me of winter-cold nights & tears.
Cut yourselves alive in my sleeping passion,
reagitate these burned-out love coals.
Bring forth all those memories I so exhale,
shutter these walls I so wish to repel.
Inch his arms closer to my soul,
let me drown in his name & perfume.
I so long to be protected from the cold,
this freezing wind which my heart beholds.
His presence shall take all that I fear,
reclaim my strength, he shall be my gear.
In the cold I wish not to swim any more,
so save me, little flakes & call him to my throne.
Go whisper in his ears of my despair,
let him awaken & of my state be aware.
May his arms bring me warmth inside,
May his breaths teach my lungs to dance.
For he knows the key to this soul's door
& he's the defeat-er of the monsters I abhor.
Let his paces be as gentle as the breeze,
his heart as fragile as my tears, & his
arms, let them be as strong as stones.
Contain me thee, for to thee, and thee alone
I wish to belong.

Firstly, good luck in the contest, with this beautiful dreamy write...*sigh*
My favorite part was:
'I so long to be protected from the cold,
this freezing wind which my heart beholds.
His presence shall take all that I fear,
reclaim my strength, he shall be my gear.'
You truly have a magical pen...

This is a wonderful work of art, if only i had half as much talent as you, i would be set. Keep up the good work.

I love all of the beautiful, relatable emotion in this piece
Beautiful! -
I didn't understand the lines that said inch his arms closer to my soul, let me drown in his name & perfume. Are you referring to the snowflakes or a person?
-
I really began to feel this poem around the lines that said "I so long to be protected from the cold, this freezing wind which my heart beholds. His presence shall take all that I fear, reclaim my strength, he shall be my gear. At some point in our lives
we all feel the same way -
mm
i think every reader of a poem interprets it differently..as i see from the comments below..some see you wanting to be in the arms of the man you love......some don't know lol....some look at the form and structure.....hhhhmmm......well i think i must be going crazy..or i have smoked too many joints....but...this poem....GOD and LOVE jumps out of every word...keep well and take care my friend

Refined rhythm, outstanding symbolism, brilliant lexicon, imagery and flow. "To Thee I Shall Belong" glows.
