Fire and Ice

Without a cue… you enter like a shadow  

A pin drops amidst the day’s affairs

Like a pebble in the ocean although, it seems  

We know it not unseen forces interplay  

Create a thrust away from the quiet mood  

Following in the spaces between my pride  

And deepest fears and i …trapped  

With nowhere to hide caught inside  

This room in the open space

Balanced like a tear welling in my eyes  

It’s falling from my face …sets in motion  

The tidal wave of emotion built up after many years  

Of gained/lost opportunities your patience ended… Chances to suspend the load   

Release the loads of pain which strikes now  

Like a hurricane as the avalanche of angry words

Breaks the wall of silence with changing tides…

i lose it all, A sobbing whisper can be heard  

A prayer for the wounds to be heal  

Amidst the images a wave of seething rage  

My S.O.S. to heaven …seems so surreal  

Against the shadows of the night  

Exploding echoes strike like lightning  

What’s left of my heart ignites  

My life reserves energies …fade softly  

Hopelessly drain away into the nether  

A lone wolf howls at the moon  

Wailing upwards in a lonesome tune  

Answered after a while by others  

In the distant hills …so far away  

A conversation which goes on for hours

Or so it seems. Is all this just a crazy dream?  

They must be lost memories of good old days

Seem like they hear the locomotive coming  

Its whistle strikes plaintive notes fading to whispers

Ends sudden as lost hope…as if it’s gone forever

After the last roll of thunder fades  

A quiet whisper returns …the anger melts away

We talk softly, embrace …kiss the pain goodnight  

And drift away to sleep …as if the fight  

We almost had was gone without a trace

Its energies displaced …yet not erased

Just another day  

To balance the inequalities  

Of life
