Your laughter crystallized in glacial air A rose rooted in permafrost despair We swore on Everest’s crooked spine
"Till all peaks crumble"—Now you’re just a shrine
O Snowpeak &Roses A duel of fire and frost You melt me slow with alpine glow Then freeze the tears I lost Our love’s a crevasse—So deep so sweet so cruel I fall forever clutching blooms That bloomed atop your fool
The sherpas whisper of a ghost who climbs Scattering rose thorns on the death zone lines Your voice still echoes off the serac walls Calling my name through the whiteout squalls
"Come find me where the summit kisses Mars Where roses drink the light of dying stars—"But my oxygen’s gone my ropes all frayed Left carving your name on the Milky Way
The snows will swallow every thorn we grew Yet still…still…I’d freeze for you
O Snowpeak &Roses A duel of fire and frost You melt me slow with alpine glow Then freeze the tears I lost Our love’s a crevasse—So deep so sweet so cruel I fall forever clutching blooms That bloomed atop your fool
