Feel my grasp.
Cringe as my fingers caress tightly
around
thy neck.
Thy flesh seers in my frozen touch,
as a veil of mists float up from my
glacial form.
My crown lays nestled on my head
and sparkles in prisms from
crystalline ice.
Thy name is
unimportant-
truly it is the past.
Thy deceiving smile could no longer
capture me in bondage.
Thy pleasant nature could no longer
rapture me into hell.
For I have become one with my being
once more.
I have sheathed
myself with the coldness
of time and
misery.
I have been in ice by the pangs
which I
mentally inflict upon
myself.
And those around me at times feel my
wrath
with an onslaught of winter
rage
I am the Winter King.
And so I lay thee to rest,
body a wretched whore.
I have since conceiled myself behind
barriers of thick ice.
The day comes and I hide for fear of
life,
but when dusk falls and the
night time is upon us
and the moon
shines over our heads-
itself releasing a freeze syphoned
within us
as certain doom-
I bask in the glory at profusely
seems
apparent.
Only in self obscurity do I dwell,
ever affraid that the sun would
shine her
face at me once more.
And my heart remains in an icey
prison,
performing its functions as
a robot-
made of cold steel.
Bars encage the soul,
keeping the spirit from captivating
the mind.
And the brain works with
neither heart
nor soul . . . .
