Frozen Memories
photos and poem by me
Frozen memories, shiny towers of bone like memories
I look down from those high above places on my tippy toes with fishnet laces
I remember you true blue those flower showers that nobody knew
Toes and fingertips I blow a kiss to you, as they freeze into memories holding onto the new
Deep in my house I turn about spinning with those frozen roses
As the water fall does spout dampening all my gentle poses.
Sliding down those icey places in my shoes with frozen laces
All of me is getting cold preserving those thoughts that feel so old

Shining down from those high above places
Sun burning into these icy cold flowers faces
But it can’t seem to penetrate those hard frozen cases water does satiate
In this moment I think in my head of all those roses I left for dead
Turning point for those safe places in my mind ice creates those spaces
Turning down from that high above view now I carry these frozen memories to you
Here you go a block of ice, kiss it and freeze that kiss so nice
So I can remember who you were and in the moment feel the love of the one I adore
Kiss you deep from those frozen places as I open up those spaces
As that hot rose begins to beam, melting ice from deep within it's seams
The sun still kept deep within those hot rose vessels, those seeds sewn deep where hot sun still nestles
Planting love now from those places, frozen daisy’s loose their faces
For as the ice begins to melt they turn brown and whither with your feelings you felt.
Those withering feelings cry out loud let me go and it lifts like a shroud
Icy melting watery drops as my heart melts non-stop
All over the cement this once cold liquid heats with my heart poured all over the city streets.
