digging doggedly

ruthless icicles in the deep freeze
caress other water molecules
which coalesce into each other

jagged ice act like sharp knives
digging doggedly into the edges
of molten space of my silence

psychedelic colours of which can
permeate some unknown vacuum
dreams dance their way through it

each jagged step ruthlessly caress
ramifications of which i know not

I like it. It is thought-provoking and the images are fresh and crisp.

Brings shivers to me. It's been cold here the past week although warm today again.

I like the 'taste' of this poem.

I like how you use each word twice! I had a hard time getting "ruthless" in even once!

This poem has wonderful images. I really liked the sudden lines about light and how well it relates to the rest of the images in the poem.

cannot help but to compare... looking out a window watching long icicles slowing melt drenching the ground below... love "...the ramifications of which i do not know.."
