She Is Cold
She Is Cold
by Laura Summerville Reed
Everything about her is cold
Top to bottom
From the crown of her head
to the tips of her toes
Fingers and lips and knees and elbows
To the end of her adorable, freckled nose
All about her is cold
Frozen
Icy
And cold
Save only her beating heart
That's so warm
....And black as coal
But it burns
Oh baby, it burns

Thank you, my dear Augustine. You know how I value your opinion and so appreciate your comments. Always and only encouragement. You support my vices with the most charming ease. ~ Laura
I loved this one...the freckled nose and the burning heart. I really think you should have linked the Rolling Stones' "She's So Cold" to this one...I would come back just to see the two together! ~WB
