(Carefully printed in gold ink on light blue parchment, this lyrical ode is pinned where two other poems had been recently)
"Altar of Ice"
Encased in Frost
My Heart lies upon
A distant Altar of Ice
Once pounding with Passion ... Yearning
To taste your sweet Lips of Nectar
To dance across our Hilltop of Flowers
To sing Harmony with Heaven's Spheres.
Naive Frailty and furtive Friendship
Have woven a Fabric of Failure;
My Destiny unravels into Despair
My Soulstone cracks and crumbles to Dust
My Dreams tumble into the Depths of the Abyss
My Spirit pleads against frigid Silence for Redemption.
Open your Soul to our Memories
Lift my Heart from your Altar of Ice
Melt the Frost with your Caress of Pardon
Shatter this Prison of Ice with one Kiss of Forgiveness
Let my Soul sing, again,
In your Arms among our Flowers
Where we shall share the Splendor of Us.
"Life is a paradise for those who love many things with a passion."
