when I met her,

I felt like I was virtually

walking barefeet, on ice

my breathe froze

and my body temperature fell,

I was statuated by her subzero aura

she froze my words,

she froze my eyes

she froze my body

she froze my soul,

she froze my heart,

beating in the ice of shyness

I experienced an inner winter,

the chill of shyness,

my confidence froze

she walked like adventure,

her beauty, a glitter

and her eyes, twin talismans of perfection,

she was surely a diva from redemption,

moulded purposely by a magnum chocolate

colour, ostentatious legs

and a bright aura

I hope you know by now,

I was in love with this girl,

till she denied me,

and my heart cracked

because of her betrayal,

the betrayal of the walking iceberg.
