Fragile Poem by Neville Malatsi

By your very touch, I implode
My cruel creator surely designed this in my code
My wings of sapphire and ice melt under your fiery embrace
I shyly pulled back my mask to reveal my scarred face
Yet you still love me in all my fragile nakedness
"You are a wonder-wall of my happiness"
, You whisper
You hold me close, our fire and ice bodies obscenely clashing
, as we brace for the cosmic winter
I am perpetually fragile
I struggle to maintain my collapsing form at your beguile
, Like an ice crystal melting in a infernal downfall
As I wail and mourn
Your heart-piercing words
transform my bleak wintry night into a blissful autumnal Fall
