Love Poem: Rescinded Season

Rescinded Season

Icicles frozen on your smile
We speak winter words
From placid hearts; friendship was just a season of your want
The great summer lightning is passed.

It came in the dead of night
Racking me with pain
Your presence would have done so much
To hold my hand back from brink of death

You denied me even the peace to die
The cluttering cobweb of love I swept out
Only a fool thrives on the peril of a lie
I cannot love amidst some doubt.

This is cold season for belief
The self-centered abandonment of friendship
Left here but a brambled tree
The last leaf making fossil in the ice.
