I swam in that frozen lake for
Eighteen agonizing winters, only
Surfacing when my lungs
Were filled with ice
I shattered the surface
Gasped through blue lips
Just to feel
Warm, gentle
Sun

Oh, so cold and deep. I can never master the short and complete poem, it always gets away from me. I love this and the flair of signing your name at the end. Magnifico!
Amazing
The flow is nice. Nice metaphor using winter and warm.
A dynamic visual with your poem.
