morning mist
hovers sleepily
sipping tea

thin blue sky
winter chill respite
looks deceive

feeling warmth rise
head laying upon our hearth
like a mother’s hug

snow falling like grief
burying all these dead things
no markings just white

wistful winter morn
outside full radiant glow
luminescent snow

fallen snow
layered perfectly
white icing

did summer ever come
with promises to return
seems winters' never gone
this cold is set to burn

as you stroll into view
winds ease rains cease
your warm light dries
shielding me from cold

my mind empties
drifting upon cosmic waves
taking me to galaxies spinning
light all around but with no destination
as just floating along
time stands still

twilights imposing will
shadows chasing final hope
darkness envelops

my coffee slowly loses steam
as cold morning creeps to midday
old grandfather clock reminds me
still set to five minutes ahead

the sun will be higher
my coffee a tad colder
but I will still be early
just five minutes older

all take offs grounded
icy wings rendered flightless
lucky penguins swim

stranded
surrounded
island

starry silver dance
rapidly mercury blinks
nature’s ballroom blitz

lonely lost echoes
ancestral cries never heard
ears deafened to noise

open roads
flashing horizons
no rear view

barely whispers heard
screaming hurricane forces
swiftly tempests change

house divided
collapses into ruin
ruling classes laugh

as time slowly drifts away
setting a course to never return
left feeling stranded in a shrinking world
I turn to recall your gleaming green eyes
and realize the treasures left behind

in seas of madness
this earth shall never perish
humanity cried
as they themselves slowly died
from festered internal strife

gravity divine
cosmic attraction combined
shooting stars collide

baked
fried
munchies

frozen limbs bejeweled
upon brushed white diamonds set
hoarfrost wonderland

dreams waved their goodbyes
decayed feathers fluttered down
freedom said later

twilight moonlit snow
dropping kaleidoscope show
tiny discos fall

timber white shaking
around limber winds twisting
flames shivering dance

among numbing cold
thoughts freeze in desperation
crucible of fire

magnetic nature
gravitations primal pull
animal instinct

winters frozen cold
cocooning life deep inside
fires yearning for air

teal is trippy
staying to swim
in seas of tranquility

strolling empty night
silent wind rustles shadows
whispering to ghosts

paradise bestowed
approach glistens golden rays
drifting slowly home

those casting rockets
missiles threatened never launched
their glass house shattered

among teeming mists
heavy silence leaves instinct
his divining word

flew to Saturn spying magic rings
stole one then smuggled back home
now hanging about her perfumed neck
every night we fly the stars
in ecstasy's embrace

sweetly love gestured
natural blooming passions
symbolizing us

rare emerald eyes
green riches still mesmerize
my worlds wealth inside

darkness is coming
shutting down todays new light
ushering the old

enchanting descent
snowing galaxies glisten
falling white abyss

drawing waters edge
hypnotic luminous beam
gravitational

weirdness all around
run away worlds spinning out
tearing me apart

aged in confusion
chaos so easily sewn
what would truth look like

walking old byways
speeding motors passing by
sunshine smiling wide

aching loving so
insatiable her presence
torturing without

isolation fog
bound inside tiny bubbles
so clearly confused

inside eye
sees what others cant
gut instinct

I dreamt
warmth enveloped
sweet scented
whispers

rusty nails
hammered long ago
still bleeding

farewell sun
goodby January twenty twenty one

rocking chair sunset
slowly creaking front porch boards
sipping lemonade
