"The Thawing of the Spring"

Midnight came and the bell tolls
‘Tis the moment that darkness falls
One year more, one more addition
This life onwards moving unbidden

I’d hold it still and keep it close
Taking only things that I chose
Mistakes rued, feared never
this iron core to surrender

I’d like to remain ever cold and frozen
Where winter shrouds this forlorn garden
Held still and unmoving
Waiting the coming of Spring

The migration of glaciers, moving slowly
Whither goest thou? asked of solitary me
Tomb me in ice and sheath me in cold
Deaden the centre of this lone safehold

A brittle sheath holding this perfection
Icy stillness numbing sensation
Stark and pure, white powdery snow
By the Sun’s heat I’m brought low

I’d like to remain ever cold and frozen
Where winter shrouds this forlorn garden
Held still and unmoving
Waiting endlessly the coming of Spring

"If I Were to Walk in Twilight"

If I did like Eve and left 
the hard bony ribs of Adam
would splinter and crack
The sun would hide itself 
Lost, you'll be wondering
the streets in your mind's night

But you couldn't care less
No, not the one who hides
silver slivers in your mouth
Where the bite left me wounded
poisoned, weakened
Frozen and cold

If my restless fingers
should press the proverbial button
a ray of cleansing light
will herald your destruction
and left me to pick through 
the bones of your abject humiliation

But you couldn't care less
No, not the one who hides
silver slivers in your mouth
Where the bite left me wounded
poisoned, weakened
Frozen and cold

If I decide to welcome
the sleepless nights 
you kept hidden from me
Will you keep me sane
and lucid, grounded in love
with a broken heartstring?

No, you couldn't care less
No, not the one who hides
silver slivers in your mouth
Where the bite left me wounded
poisoned, weakened
Frozen and cold
