Winter Luminescence
Whisp of cold air
Flying flakes free
Ice upon my hair
Falling to my knees
Coming of twilight
Sitting in snow
Between day and night
Wait for stars to show
Shine without heat
Cold to the bone
Freezing my feet
For winter has shown
Though without dread
In the frozen glade
With naught but leaves dead
In bliss I wade
Flying flakes free
Ice upon my hair
Falling to my knees
Coming of twilight
Sitting in snow
Between day and night
Wait for stars to show
Shine without heat
Cold to the bone
Freezing my feet
For winter has shown
Though without dread
In the frozen glade
With naught but leaves dead
In bliss I wade

Sun Blindness.
The snow carpets everything.
And I can't see.
It's so bright.
The white permeates existence and shines oh so brilliantly.
Blotched here and there with the thrown up refuse of passing cars.
Dirty grey stains on the blinding incandescent light.
My eyes hurt.
As I see the silhouette of a magpie.
Chasing away a mangy old fox who won't survive the winter.
And I'm always tired.
Walking on.
This slippery ice.
I always catch myself.
Before I fall.
But,
My scarf is falling down. ...
And I can't see.

As I see the silhouette of a magpie.

Frigid Sky
Time is passing by and slowly
Losing all its breath
Sun is going down so lonely
In the frosty, distant west
Cold nasty winds are blowing
All the hopes fade away
While life is freezing
Into a snowy, powdery haze
Within a frozen moment
Into a crystal winter sky
Memories are melting
Tears open up my eyes
Soon salvation
Will bring a long-awaited end
Reaching primordial creation
Uniting with you, my old friend
Losing all its breath
Sun is going down so lonely
In the frosty, distant west
Cold nasty winds are blowing
All the hopes fade away
While life is freezing
Into a snowy, powdery haze
Within a frozen moment
Into a crystal winter sky
Memories are melting
Tears open up my eyes
Soon salvation
Will bring a long-awaited end
Reaching primordial creation
Uniting with you, my old friend

Winter's Grip
With each arrow piercing through my depth
Pointing to the path of shallow breath
Quivering until the cold air met
Knocked loose until too has left
Footsteps of frost now lost
Frigid gasps soon lapsed
Circle into a mirth full of uncertain purples
Unfurled from icy lips
Cold words set out into the air
Stones to guide the warmth just laying there
The grip of eyes like arrows in their stare
As embers suffer forth toward unaware
Cataclysm masquerading
Extradition unabating
In an adventure unawaiting ...

After We Got In The Cabin
After we got in
the cabin and found ourselves
isolated by
the snow, the girls and I stripped
and hump each other right there.

Legos In Translation (a collaboration with adagio)
Oceans of green through the window of eyes
And the blueprints of nature’s serenity
Through the hourglass of autumn’s compose
In fields of Elysian verdant wildflowers
And nature’s Pandora Jack-in-the-Box of
Folded memories and Legos in translation
*****
So lofty are mountains turned tender
When soothed by the warm hands of the sun
Against the harsh white winter a defender
Nature’s bounty would ever humankind stun
To every single season weather and surrender
Then bare your treasure into verses second to none..
And the blueprints of nature’s serenity
Through the hourglass of autumn’s compose

When soothed by the warm hands of the sun
Against the harsh white winter a defender

another winter
the house was cold;
since I’d retired I'd spent
most of my time in the house,
I was used to the cold
was particularly bad this
year, but perhaps, being old ..
I don’t know where the
time goes, or went, I fear

I wouldn't say Suicidal but January Challenges One ...
The gloom
Early sunset
Cold earth
Waiting
Just waiting
For what you ask
You know
For a reason to believe
For one warmer day to tease us
For anything
A laugh
A smile
An embrace....

We Should Stay In Here
I agree with you
that we should stay in here and
let it snow
outside as long as we're both
warm and humping on this bed.

Obelisks
Wintry tears drip deep
into icy, dark waters
The stream is endless,
as she came to me in the form of paradise
As I envisioned
I made a decision
Wisdom floats
as infinity awaits
into icy, dark waters
The stream is endless,
as she came to me in the form of paradise
As I envisioned
I made a decision
Wisdom floats
as infinity awaits

Beer & Murder
During the 2000's a severe winter storm kept temperatures in the 20's and thousands of homes in Southern Texas, without power for several days. It was perhaps a combination of cabin fever and alcohol that led one woman to shoot her 71 year old husband to death in the kitchen of their home. He gave her a can of warm beer. It had occurred to neither one of them to chill a six-pack on the back porch!

Nasturtiums in light snow
Cold bites to my bones, stings my skin, joking
that summer was ever warm.
Beneath an iron sky, stragglers, jovial party people
linger by the cold windy door.
The warmth of their orange and red rages,
but diminished, by a light snowfall blanket.
It weighs them down,
their hot summery heads drooping under early winter’s white weight.
No cabbage white or tortoiseshell will visit these roguish
summer remnants;
the first frost will finish them soon enough—
smiting their tender leaves and stems to...
