I wrote this one originally in 2002, but edited out a lot later, I just can't remeber when. I had restated the story too exactly so I left in enough to stay accurate and cut out enough to suit my sensibilities.
Snow Queen
Shards of dark glass
in his eye and heart
and the Snow Queen's freezing kiss
have stolen my Kay away.
Winter so dark and lonely without him.
Spring's new hope starts my journey.
The river carries me far from home.
A loney crone keeps me with her spells,
but her roses remind, it's Kay I must find,
so I leave her behind.
My love for him fills me
and opens the hearts
of birds, beasts, royalty, and robbers
to assist my quest to find my Kay.
At the end of the earth
stands the ice palace.
Kay at last!
but so cold, so still, so stiff.
My eager arms embrace
and welling joy spills
in hot tears that thaw his heart
and open his eyes.
Then he knows me.
Kay is my Kay again!
We're back home in warmest Summer.
Childhood is left behind,
but our childlike hearts beat together
never to freeze again.
April 2002
