ICE QUEEN

I am the ice queen.

I am cold comfort

on a hot morning

after a long night

of sweating

tossing

and turning.

I am the ice queen,

the one you turn to

when you need relief

from the long summer heat,

when you need someone

to fill your glass

and chill your drink.

I am the ice queen,

encased in this glacier

for no one is strong enough

to face her,

to pick her up and

d i s p l a c e her.

I am the ice queen.

One frigid stare

is enough to frost the air,

freeze you right there

where you stand.

My embrace is warm

but my frostbitten hands

can’t hold much more.

I am the ice queen.

But loving you

is thawing me.
