Poem: Paid In Cold

Paid In Cold

From the very shadows of the darkness
None is more bitter, vile or vain
Than in the meadows of the heartless
Where my winter smile will reign

In the birds’ eye view, the worst IQ
Does plan the crumbling blackened war
The terse and true’s own curse ensues
Ensures I come stumbling back once more

Fierce hope propelled beyond their ranks
My dreams doubled as they dithered
To pierce hell’s armour of their tanks
Bodies as supple as minds withered

Facing cold shoulders, their distaste
Dictates perhaps I earn their tortures
Tasting from cauldrons, in their haste
My stake they burn with torches

Across the veins that blot their flesh
My stained shining blade foretold
They lost their claim to rot while fresh
I gained mine and paid in cold.

    When doesn’t the Nook seem to have difficulties, is this still beta software we are using?
