‘Ice On Fire’

Frozen flames awaiting to ignite🌹

‘Ice On Fire’

It lies and waits

Upon
A frozen
White
Slate-

So hard and
Solid to the
Touch-

Where fingers
Slip and smoothly
Trace
The transparency
Of the softness
Beneath the
See through
Sheet -

Where emotions
Tumbling down-
Flood
Ravines
That run
So deep

Cravesses so green-

Awaiting warmth
And joy-
Springs treat
Our desires
Do meet-

A blossoming
Bud -
Eroding inside
Deep-
Fresh sap does
Seep -

All the fresh
Senses it welcomes
Without defeat-

Burning for the
Light to touch -

Hidden
And dormant -

Frozen

Defrosting

Melting drops

Responding
To energy
Demanding-

Solid sinking

Into seas of blue
Where depth
The surface shows

Oh only the
Heart does know-

The heat it churns
Igniting fire
Where ‘ice’ it
Was once ‘black’-
Has taken back
The love it
Learnt -

It earnt-

It flows in streams
Emerging dreams
The touch it tests
The time-

Ignites flames-
Burning higher

There is no
Ransom
To be paid

When the ice

It turns
To fire.

when the right one comes, the right love comes... all our walls will break, all our coldness, our defenses, and all what beneath it of desires, warmth, tenderness and passions will flow like a spring after winter, melting ice into founts under the love's Sun, You've said it all Your own unique way, passionately, powerfully, tenderly.

When ice turn to fire. Need to be lite by two people seeking the fire and the warmth. Love shouldn't be ransom. Should be the sweetest days and nights of our life. Thank you dear Kelly for sharing your wonderful poetry.

I prefer a much longer autumn and winter and much shorter spring and summer. This is descriptively imaginative and beautiful.bravo!!

Good morning, Kelly …
Through the wonder of your swift-flowing, Skeltonic-type Verse and brilliant metaphor, you again capture imaginations and stir one's senses in such a way the moment takes on a warming glow all its own, melting even the most glacial resolve.

Beautifully rendered poetry, Kelly … thank you for the delightfully 'rousing moment shared! ⁓ Richard : )

I’m glad you enjoyed it, there is a definite twist to this that only few will understand, I’m glad it touched you and brought enjoyment to read... thanking you for your time🌹

You move with seasons, everyone to be embraced.
Summers could be a bit longer. Winters a bit shorter.
But I suppose nature is telling us to rest up.
She's a clever girl.
The snow today is not the snowman type. bah, bah.

Yes the seasons do speak but do we listen? Many thanks for your time🌹

[Kelly Scheppers]

I love how distinctively you captured each season with such dramatic flair and intensity. Such rapture in your every word!

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Many thanks for your time🌹

[Karen Redburn]

I can definitely read the celebration of the changing seasons in your poem. Vivid imagery and a step by step guide to each process involved in both the current season and the approaching spring make this a rich deep read. Well done!
