The Hoarfrost
by Patti Richards
(St Julians, Malta)

Such beauty to behold Endures bitterly cold frozen Narrative of sadness yet untold Delicate gossamer petals Emulates the glacial frozen heart Loves remote and forlorn Abandoned hope and final depart
Forgotten hope and dreams abound Beseeched with sullied memories Compels to rise up and break free Cruel bitter wind brought death Slaying the love that meant all to me No springtime metamorphic change Nor eternity affords curative exchange
Indignant agony which begs for death Desolate and alone caressing cue Fragile beauty of intricate petals unfurled Aberrantly withdraws from compassionate touch Devoid and indolent resounds since loving you Vaunted solitude takes penchant resolution Seclusion dictates my solitary solution
Cold frozen Hoarfrostâs beauty entices The eyes and the heart of the voyeurâs desire Effectively beguiling an innocent trusting heart Concealing a passion quelled raging fire Holding court to captivating curiosity Cloaking the qualm of sceptical ferocity
