Midwinter Lovers, Poem Options

[CrotchetTheLeper]

I submitted this to the writer's block contest. I don't write much poetry, but I saw the contest and suddenly became inspired, haha.

Tell me what you think...



Midwinter Lovers

The boughs above have hands to hold
Our path is worn, our feet grow cold

We're synchronized, our steps, our hearts
Forever youthful neath the stars

A friend or foe, I cannot say
The moon is bright, the branches sway

Unearthly lights, a distant glow
Illuminating fallen snow

A racing mind, a frigid touch
Our bodies shake, consumed by lust

Hearing words, so long unspoken
Pious whispers, mouth unopened

The bridges burn, above, below
An ember world, turns neath the snow

My lips, they part, words will not come
We stop, we stare, the cold has won

[wintermelody]

here's a poem i wrote a while back...

Thump, Thump

The heart suffers silently in the dark
Thumping its damaged bruises endlessly
Fresh cuts lashed and not a single tear drops
How genuine yet empty these wounds are.

Emotions do not exist anymore
Instead hollow feelings are welcomed in
The heart merrily ushers these strangers
For they sit there and not cause chaos.

Its weaknesses exposed but yet alone
No one has come to comfort or to soothe
"Where is everyone," the heart asks sadly
'They never were here,' whispered the reply.

I weigh heavy with such sorrow, anguish
No clue comes to mind about this heart
How to heal it or if it can be healed
Is a solution possible at all?
