A bet, made in silence
Spoken of only in whispers
By the wind and the rain

As the frozen scene where they meet
A queen of the land of ice, a ruler, forgotten
By time, by knowledge, by a world not prepared
For the beauty and wisdom of one frozen in time
Needing love to keep her from death, even for a moment
A fire, blazing bright

"What is love?"
And I, even with the knowledge of
the witchcraft of words
with my tomes of the English language

syllables, and synonyms

a definite definition.
But then speeches past came back to me
harsh monologs of unintentional harm
that is a popular yet false definition.
"It is when a man and a woman
want to spend their lives together...."
I could not tell the child this
for I would be misleading, telling half-tru
