The task was to write something based on the word Ice. for the first writers meeting of 2011. I was to be away at the time.
ICE
To the touch as steel it drives
A raw temptation to grasp,
To clasp the trapped eternity
While history melts around it.
The largest adorn and amaze
As their captured light refracts
A honed brilliance, a radiance
From passion to spectacle.
Clarity translates the heat of the earth
From the magma though blood to crystal
Besotting the beauteous and banal
Beguiling the bestial and base.
It flashes desire to the heart
Of a maiden and the crone and
Drives to distraction and ruin
Those captured by its eternal allure.
An ache of passions
Cold as ice.
Value beyond worth.
The flawed diamond.
