The Snow Queen

Dedication: This was inspired by and written for my good friend Alice. And despite the fact that she isn't really into poetry, I hope that she likes this poem. ^_^

On the snow-capped mountain she waits

At the peak where no human has reached

Silent and lonely as death

Howling wind blows around her

Yet still she waits

Gazing down to the snow-covered valley below

Snow and ice of her own making

A white flower blooming in otherwise dead terrain

Lady Snow waits for her lover

Every day in the same frigid spot

Away from her ice mansion

Dress of shimmering silver

Covered with a coat of arctic fur

Crystal tears slip from glacier-blue eyes

The path they travel is down snow-white cheeks

She knows her love will never come

But still she waits

Frost-white curls blown by blizzard winds
