Cold
This is my seventeenth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.
This is my seventeenth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.
This is a sonnet about someone destroyed by cold.
The music I have chosen is Foreigner's "Cold as Ice" which has been used in the Netflix series Stranger Things.

The Freezing Fingers Stop Your Heart
They Touch Your Skin And Turn It Blue
Your Blood Burns Inside Killing You
The Cold Will Kill, Tear You Apart
๐ค๐
How Can Cold Burn You Like Hell Fire?
Needles Of Burning Ice Shred You
The Blood Falls To The cold Stone Floor
In a Red Sheet of Solid Ice
๐ค๐
There Is No Warmth, But Still, You Burn
Your Blood Vessels Will Crack And Churn
You Do Not Want To Die In Pain
The Cold Is Driving You Insane
๐ค๐
Ice Needles Continue To Stab
A Frozen Body On A Slab
