Love Poem: Frozen Midnight

Frozen Midnight

I will bend you slow into a sonnet 
bated breath hidden in a small locket 
Will my soul ever feel like this again?
It’s like slowly freezing in the  ocean

A brand new color on the horizon 
peacefully asleep, why heal the broken ?
A shy first dance of sky blue and spun gold,
echoing wind and a mouth left ice cold

Parched lips with a whisper that is empty,
your painted eyes a gentle remedy;
The moan drips slowly in every rhyme 
I have locked you forever, frozen time

I can taste you in each word that I write
My mouth is stained with your scent at midnight.
