Buried Treasure

Want to play in my igloo?

It's really nice and warm.
It just feels cold
til you get to know me
which takes a little time.

Don't be fooled
by the frigid sentinel
posted at the door.
The spirit he guards
is warm and loving
but reached only by trust
which must be earned.

I have a feeling
that we can be happy together
once the barriers are down.
Love melts the iciest heart
given the gift of time.

So true, so true that last line.

Hmmmm...........Ponderergirl,mine is pretty darned cold just about now.

Do realize though, that the Love that melts the icy heart comes from within, not without.

Love inside leads to love outside and love outside leads to love inside. When it's really love, that is and not confused with lust, selfishness, martyrdom, sex, attraction, etc. etc. Too bad we're not capable of perfect love. One day...
