Cold Heart


The cold hearted girl feels the thaw

of little icicles as they fall off her heart

and she blames him, that boy -

that wolf eyed boy who smiles at her

and sniffs her with his aquiline nose.

She stamps her foot and pouts,

pulling her frosty shawl tighter.


She scrutinises the words he writes,

tries to pull apart their meaning and

stares them down until they cower.

But the icicles are still falling

And her heart is still thawing

So up come the words to be stroked

and kised until they shiver with pleasure.
