The Lake She Lies In

Air more still
Than ever breath has been
A chasm cracked
An arctic frozen wind
This land caressed
And steeped in chilled decay
So endlessly some winter
Her never-tossed bouquet
To summer's fragrant blossoms
Dawned dissolution's grace
From warmth and tender beauty
A distant freeze remained

And ice more blue
Than tint of absent breath
Embraced this lost December
A dance within a death
Her face beneath the frost
A sight not truly seen
But by the lake she lies in
And the crisp and frozen breeze . . .

Dear your poetry grows better by the minute, you extract emotion from the very air around you and spin it into spidery webs of truth. Wonderful write!

It's very pretty... it's not as "muddled" as some other poems I've read where everthing goes wrong. It's different...

she lay to remain for the duration of her life. Trapped inside the pain of something she cant escape: once inflicted and scared. True, maybe not. Thats the impression i got: Love love [D&A]
