Analysis of The Wood Frog
Warmed to a touch
Calming serene air in a kiss
relinquished to serenade me
extravagantly again
Amends to winds' upon lips
The orchards of conscious
to whisper nothings'
in waves unreal and steal me away
Must I obey the natural abilities
of nature to snatch the wings
right from under me?
I humbly submit
May the tumbling begin
and win me back in thy arms
so there I therefore
shall die there
A new, new born lion king cub
in love with a queen forever more
The eternities turning these
clocks to stop time only to find
I've been waiting all along
alone and cold until
warmed when palms are placed
to erase this freeze
Hibernated away the day that we meet
and she kisses me into a prince
melting ice in imprints to live again.
