Frozen

wounds cut deep
as the whitened snow bleeds
blood red,
the purple abrasion
seeps,
the eyes no longer seeing
heart no longer beats,
hands frozen
despairingly motionless
as a puckered mouth opens,
silent
timeless
stillness of winter night streets,
the freeze becomes her.

    sounds like a scene right out of CSI...only your vivid words can describe a new found body in cold of winter. Have a great weekend......:-) Hugs

    I love the images you created in my head. I see here as very cold, but not necessarily dead. Something to haunt me in my dreams tonight.

    Such a beautiful poem.
    Loved the comparison between freezing and death, such an amazing way to capture that moment indeed.

    For me, this was a poem about death, and it really was kind of how I hope it will be, where in the final breath, no matter violence or bloodshed, there is a beautiful moment of peace, a stillness. Well...you know I'm rather morbid anyway. I loved it Kay.

    Very dark and very chilling... and very beautiful. I think we've all experienced that distance and chill at some point or the other.

    'red, purple and white' ... the contents of my wardrobe, that I wear during the,

    'stillness of winter night streets'. And my 'hands frozen' dug in pockets deep.
