Frigid

I thought I'd melt his heart
that one day he'd succumb
I plied with treats of every measure
Dreams to be undone
A glance of need,
a yearning sigh,
but nothing would unfurl
the Beauty's wintry, frozen smile
or crack this hardened pearl
And then, one day
as fate decreed
his heart began to light
Alas for me the Winter's cold
had dimmed my love from sight
He pleaded, begged, and simpered
his ice all dripped away
but I was now unbending
my sails refused to sway
And so he sits in summer's sun
weeping liquid tears
and I am frigid as the wind
that blusters through the years
