Red heart hidden
within frozen petals
of a winter rose,
pressed between pages
of old memories,
as real as the pain
love brings
~*~
In flashing light
a crystal tear shines
melting with the whispers
of a gentle breeze,
dreams drift through
open windows of the soul
…solitude of a blue, winter rose
~*~
Alone in a field of frost,
blue shining bright
under a moonlit sky,
cold crystal covering
the warmth
hiding behind
sharp thorns
