Cold

This is my seventeenth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.

This is a sonnet about someone destroyed by cold.

The music I have chosen is Foreigner's "Cold as Ice" which has been used in the Netflix series Stranger Things.

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€

The Freezing Fingers Stop Your Heart

They Touch Your Skin And Turn It Blue

Your Blood Burns Inside Killing You

The Cold Will Kill, Tear You Apart

πŸ–€πŸ’€

How Can Cold Burn You Like Hell Fire?

Needles Of Burning Ice Shred You

The Blood Falls To The cold Stone Floor

In a Red Sheet of Solid Ice

πŸ–€πŸ’€

There Is No Warmth, But Still, You Burn

Your Blood Vessels Will Crack And Churn

You Do Not Want To Die In Pain

The Cold Is Driving You Insane

πŸ–€πŸ’€

Ice Needles Continue To Stab

A Frozen Body On A Slab

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€
