of loss…

Kneeling at the edge
of this frigid, darkest, pool.
I hesitate to enter on this precept
I ever so slowly plummet

Shocked and numbed the icy waters
embrace my naked flesh
Sinking in the deep muddied
pulses of my troubled heart

The silence of your
Words has left me barren, withering
Fear and doubts
Like vultures tear bits of me away

Wind and sand
Race across my eroding, charred desires
Where once I warmed and melted
dust and tattered fragments lie motionless

This liquid embrace
Hides the tears that quake and tremble me
The waters numb
And cool the yearning helpless remembering

The coldness and dank
Reflects my sad and sinking soul
Silence a sea of white freezing snow
Reaching for your heart trembling and cold
