The Ice Princess
gazed into the swirling night
from a castle
sprawling like iced marble
upon the frozen tundra
on blocks of frozen crystal
she drummed her
diamond nails
sprinkles of ice
shining in her luscious hair
aquamarine eyes
framed by brows
of golden thread
knitted into thoughts
in the middle of
a swirling blizzard
so far away
no map
could plot
in eternal night
she wore charms of shivers
the lovely moon
beguiled her
and sung to her
verses of
an unknown sun king
blind love is mad love
and the princess fell hard
for heat and mystery
but even in mesmerized madness
her blood of chilled Bordeaux
coursing wildly
she grasped the
dangers of melting and mingling
the fruitless combination
of fire and ice

Wonderful, Lana. This feels so magical and epic, and yet the metaphor works exquisitely well for the more familiar ice princesses of life. <3
Thanks, Diana. We need to be on the lookout for ice princesses, it is their season 😀
Sparkling description of the ice princess! Dreaming of Heat Miser… she grasped the / dangers of melting and mingling / the fruitless combination / of fire and ice. Kind of like my kiwis, another hungry but fruitless combination. Well done, Lana. 🙂
Oh Joan, I was just thinking about your kiwis and wondering how they were wintering, LOL. Thank you 😀
I don’t know about ice princess, but we over here are having an American princess down in the palace, fashion icon, crystal earring, lace dresses. Well Lana, just want to wish you A Very Merry Christmas! Enjoy your family day.
Oh yes, we got to love the fashion, and that sounds fabulous! Merry Christmas to you also, Juli. I hope you have a lovely season and precious time with your family. Thank you, much love. xoxo
Thank you Lana. And you too, enjoy your holidays!
Awesome piece, Lana! Love the diamond nails 😉 xxx
You just can’t beat a good set of diamond nails, Sarah, ha ha! Thank you, stay warm. 😀
