Love is ice: So beautiful,
catching rays from the sun, holding them inside.
Glimmering. Shimmering. It shines
for the world to see, for Love is proud.

But fragile, Oh how fragile,
this sparkling fixation is.
Sometimes, those rays, they destroy the ice,
for Love can melt under pressure.

And oh how sharp Love is!
I sliced my heart on its jagged icy edge,
for Love can hurt
more than an open wound.

But hubris is not the deep emotion of Love.
And fragility makes an emotion all the more precious.
And for all the pain of love,
there are tender kisses to make the hurt go away.

Love is ice: So beautiful.
Glimmering, Shimmering,
Inside of me.
The only ice that warms my heart.

this is for LPS's contest, we had to had a metaphorical piece of either love, sex, cannibalism, time, or death. i think that was it. i chose love. im So sick of heaing love is liek fire, a burning falem in the heart of lovers. no. i compare love to ice in mine. love really is just like ice. i put this under spoken word, b/c the meter is one of my favorite parts of this peom; its kinda choppy and i really like that. so if read aloud, i think this poem would be the meter would be more appreciated. this may sound similar to something uve heard before. I took a stanza from another one of my poems and elaborated on it and got this. mmk, i think thats all
oh and yes, i did mean to capitalize all the Love's

"Your Man Jesus seems to me a bit of a son of bitch when it comes to women," Roland said. "Was he ever married?"

The corners of the priest's mouth quirked. "No," he said, "but his girlfriend was a whore,"

"Well," Roland said, "that's a start,"

If only pure sweetness was offered, why's this bitter taste left in my mouth? If I could catch my breath just to exhale, I'd know that I held it in to long
