Before Dawn Breaks

Before Dawn Breaks

I drift in the tundra
of your eyes,
two distant moons
within this forever winter,
sunlight a sliver of flame
too far away to touch us
here in our near dark places,
falling upon your icy plain
embraced within
the arctic deserts of your soul
polarized
on the hovering horizon
where the temperature never rises,
everything in scales of blue
with a purple hue.

The feel of your
intergalactic
lunar system,
languishing upon the glaciers
of your thoughts,
our twilight hours
fossilized
and preserved
beneath the ice
like amber solidified
holding fragments of the past.

Heart sized hailstones
have their own rhythm
breaking open into liquid
dreams, I want to be swept away
down waterfalls
landing as always
upon the powdered snow
of your flesh and bones.

I like it lots some bit remind of sky at night with all stars and then of snow eater monster at eats people. I like colours you descripts

I hazard to guess this is a love poem - the use of ice and the cold as a metaphor suggesting that perhaps the two protagonists are either dead or that the passion of their affair is. Whatever it's about, the images and language are very effective.

I have absolutely no idea what it's about, yet the words speak to me. :)

You are not far off, this is a love poem in its own way, and there is a subtle allusion to vampires which is made within the imagery, though it is in part also about my feelings, though for me imagery of cold and winter do not have a "dead" or negative connotation. But it is about the coldness, acting as a sacntuary, this finding comfort within the indidivual in question.

I love your use of words regardless of subject, it has an epic feel and is truely poetic.
