“Cold Mountain” by Cristina Del Sol
no season for sadness
as tears turn to crystal
no freedom to grieve
a more ambient winter
icy fingertips sting
to be stranded
so far from the heart
breathless lungs seize
in shock of the cold
not allowing the voice
to enunciate sorrow
it’s left to the pines
pained and strained
by the hammering wind
to moanfully mourn
such arctic aggression
Wonderful stuff…mind my wife has just returned from the garden having planted various things and her take on the cold upon returning to the house was a little more colloquial!

Love the painting and the poem. We’re stuck in subzero here too on the south west shore of Nova Scotia, but it’s not stopping us from going out to My Favourite Local Restaurant JB’s for Valentine’s Day.

Reblogged this on Lovely Wounded Lady Says … and commented:
The feeling in this poem reminds me of my experience with a relationship with a psychopath…especially after the discard when the cold truth begins showing itself.
Poetry that is artfully written in a “specifically vague” style …allows for the reader to fill in the details with their own mind.
Excellent poetry from a soulful poet.
