The Surrender Of Arms Of Coldness Poem by John Sensele

Arms of coldness
Snatched my soul
Robbing boldness
From the ultimate goal

Serenity strove to achieve
In society, in romance on balance
Which steadfastness too late to perceive, receive, sieve and deceive
Stood in blatant defiance from a dismal distance

Coldness couldn't conceal
From torrents of tears
That strove to seal the squeal appeal
My fate in arrears

When boldly I confronted
Arrows launched
To the dignity assaulted
Breached

In my heart
In my mind
In every part of the rambling rampart
In which affection never again succor could find

However hard
Affection sought to assuage pain
Sharp as a glass shard
Tore in my brain

By dint of mounting pressure, coldness raised her white flag
Happiness saluted the gesture
Choosing not to nag
The culture happiness injected into a friendly future.
