For Safety
Love, that old snake,
comes to thaw my heart
with its honey-sweet kisses.
I light a fire to keep it away
and my heart in the freezer.

I like the abstract yet practical use of metaphor in this. Makes for unique and original art. Very dense, compound, and concise to interpretation and semantics. Also, a bit of duality and balance of principle in there, when you consider the title along with the content of the poem, on an emotional and moral scale. Makes for some cool suggestions. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

Wow, thank you so much for such a precise, in depth analysis of my poem! It was written in response to a prompt. Again, many thanks!

So succinctly fulfilling to the fearful heart, lest there be further damage.
For its length, this is masterfully creative and imaginative.
