Title: Cold Caught Warmth Burnt

Youthful

The Fountain

Clear sprinkling light

Forever frozen

Time the slow thaw

Liquid gold

Touched by the warmth

Of those around him

Strong and proud

Hidden underneath

Layers and facades

That silly man

Irritating as a small burn

Smouldering eyes of a Soldier

The heart of a man who loves

Warmth coating him

Cracking this frost shell

Thrust from underneath

Seated upon a throne

Boy king

Crown of icy peaks

Childhood sweetness

Clings to his features

Paints him innocent

The sing of blood

Upon glinting metal

Heeds far from the fable

The ice cracks

Sunlight is hidden

Perpetual grey

Hanging curtains upon the skies

Flourishing flakes of crystal

Rising from the ashes

Man of flames

Like the phoenix reborn

Bright orange

Tangled raven

It's never easy

Goodbyes slip away

Like the rain's endless rhythm

Hello

Summer's gentle caress

Ice still cradles his mind and heart

Tempered by the years

Shards swept away

By those arms so strong

The dragon rises

Scales perched upon his brow

Fire and Ice can dance

The beat of air

Tempestuous wings

Crackle and rise

In the end

The universe bends

It had been

Spring will return

Just so all masks must fade

Frost sparkles

Cold catches

Warmth burns

The embrace of both is

Merely two stars

Burning Cold
