avalanches and snowflakes

You reminded me of snow.

Of winter time curled up by the fire place.

Of frozen lakes, ice cracking above freezing depths.

There is a duality in you that is both beautiful and destructive.

Think avalanches and snowflakes.

Your heart blackened, yet still whole and beating, a rhythm that never falters.

A soft shape with harsh lines and even harsher thoughts.

There is beauty in a touch so cold.

A harsh cruelty that leaves knees weakened and souls left condemned.

That feeling of bittersweet unease building until all I can see is snow.

Whether it comes in the form of avalanches or snowflakes, it is the same sweet snow.

Both beautiful and destructive.
