Frozen Heart

Silence tears through this world,
An impenatrable cold steals my heart;
Trust shatters as glass...
And numbness replaces a sudden pain.
I stand as if on a pinnacle,
Raised above the blinding clouds,
My soul drifts without heart
And my mind can find no hope.

I open my chapped hands to catch a wishing star;
To take me someplace-
Anyplace, where I can hear my heart again.
The stars wink at me to mealt the ice in my eyes,
A familiar gesture such
That I find myself raising your ghost.

Where have I gone that I have lost the sun?
How should it be that I live in forever dark?
Too cold to miss the warmth?

To go back to the world would be to fall
From this empty place where I stand,
From this dark abyss of frozen night,
Oh how I long for the gentle warmth
OF the Earth - my mother's smile;
But I can jump no longer,
For the stars hold me tight,
My heart still chained to their presumed brightness.

And the stars?
They are your eyes no longer.
But how familiar is their silky touch
So to keep me in their shallow prison,
Locked away from my dying heart,
My torn soul cought in the silence of an icy wind,
My barren being drifting through this frozen eternity,
The abyss where you used to call my name.

I have one word for you Morgan: poetry.com! They have contests all the time that you can enter for free, and they might publish you--it happened to me (and I think I suck).

You are quite a talent!

Thanx for the suggestion phoenix, however the problem with poetry.com, and I've submitted things there already, is that your poems have to be 20 lines or less, and people like me whom you can't shut up find it very hard to limit themselves down to 20 lines.
Plus I read somewhere it was a scam, but i don't know.
