"Her Glacier"
“Her Glacier”
Laying down on the shattered glass
I breathe in the shards
Letting the seeping blood drip
DRIP...DROP…
The ripples resonate and echo,
On the disheartened, crying ice
Eyes… dropping… crystals
Covered my saddened heart
Who, I scream a silent, dry scream,
as if I am in space, underwater
To my weeping eyes, “I am sorry for the wasted tears.”
I whisper to the silence, with my vivid vision
The vivid vision blurred by the saltwater tears
Can only see the back of the person I loved
FADE…into the mist of tears
The ice that weeps with me, from my ripped feet,
Shatters as I am taken to the abyss…
The very abyss of my own heart
I, slowly taken down, down…as I struggle against,
Against the deathly, cold water
As the rose thorns grasp my feet…they take me
To pitch-dark black,
Further…deeper…deeper
To the prison I made myself
Here at the ocean floor,
The place that is made out of my own tears
I wait…where the ashes remain
As I hope the pressure of the seven seas
Of my own heart, turns me into diamonds
The other part of me, who lives much above me
Where the snow punches your ragged skin,
In the heart of the land of fire and ice,
Awaits, in the concave of a glacier…
Aimlessly around the blue glass tsunami,
Breathing in the untainted, crisp cool air
Eyes floating aimlessly
Eyes twinkling endlessly
This slow walking giant, taking centuries for each step
Covers the land with its azure ice like a blanket
Treading on the works of any weathering
Glitters with streaks of endless blue…
O’ the beauty of the blue streaks!
Each a different shade,
Describes the indescribable
His exquisite beauty,
Walls as waves and ripples
Of water that has been frozen in time
Forms those very streaks!
Sapphire, Tiffany, Sky, Zaffre, Royal, Navy, Azure and Midnight blue
In bliss…all dancing merrily in this very cave
…an ultimate Eternal Dance
She, white light, origin of the viva Earth
Smiles through His crystal
Giving colour and light to His life
Givin’ His form…the Blue Crystal Tsunami.
Romance, like lovers, waltzing
even if one of them…will not make it ‘till the end
even if one of them…is slowly killing the other
She, who gives beauty to the giant
I, who lives way below them,
cannot compete…
A warm-blooded creature of the land…
It, who decides to wander inside…
runs Its hands on the mosaic of blue
To It, the ice seems to glide
As the twinkling light of the crystal cave winks…
Picturing the two together…
Below the glacier " inside the very cave- lays a beach
Crystal…His…Tears
O’ the beach of his tears…when he weeps with me
Slowly melting away
Either way,
His blue is much apart from mine,
Sleeplessly, I lay down on the shattered glass
Endlessly, breathing in the stabbing shards
As I accept my fate…way below Him
“Him.” “Blue Glass Tsunami” = Vatnajökull glacier cave, Iceland
“The Land of Fire and Ice” = Iceland. Iceland is known to have volcanoes next to glaciers.
“White light, Origin of the viva Earth” “She” = Sun
“Beach of his tears” = A ‘beach’ located in the cave itself. The sand is made out of ‘crystal’.
“A warm-blooded creature of the land” = A person. Human
“Pictures them together” = Takes a picture of the cave with a camera
“Even if one of them…is slowly killing the other” = The sun is melting the ice
“I” = A landform that sunk to the bottom of the sea, just below the cave. (i.e. ‘the third wheel’)
“…and here I wait. For her glacier. Who I knew will never come”
