Best Arctic Poems

When the 
glacial sun slips 
in softened womb 
of the scarlet 
spheres at dusk, 
yearning for 
hibernal rebirth 
as a lustrous 
morning star, 
it radiates 
golden beams 
like lakes of sunshine,
flowing over 
chiming starlit bells 
in our hazy haven;
and I scrap 
frosted flakes
off the bittersweet...

Winter breathes in sepia tones along a lonely two lane street
divided amongst the sweeping frozen dunes
now forced into shouldered amnesty

Street lights shiver in snowcapped bonnets
while sidewalks sleep ‘neath blankets of flittering flakes
The air, frigidly crisp…moves of tiny chiffon sparkles dancing

Rooftops, plump and soft, show off...

This poem is a special devotion for my mother, who has always been a healing sun for these wintry eyes. Mumma, you're my hope, my strength, my magic and my heartbeat. I'll always find my fairy-lights in your soul, as you're my home, where this...

I'm silk-fire, curled in emblazoned quartz horizons,
Of aurous equator, rising in smoke as a secular bird, 
From own fossil-ashes, flying to distant honey-shores, scarlet spun, 
Stretching across merlot crusts of earth, like a coal-storm, sobered 

Yet, my heart is not a silent sandstone, flaming with...

arctic sunset


numbed by frozen sea

cold streaks ignite molten sky

embers hiss in death

Stark Arctic vacant for centuries
habitat white fur bears epoch
prom's on ice sheets breeze
cubs in search for mama's barrack 
concurring ice surrenders whistle 
remark the scent of sea lions
nurture's th' cubs haunting an angel
in freezing water bathing, stuns
cleans thou fur splash'd blood mud's

ARCTIC WINTER BLUES

Sublime night bred winter blues
curl velvet navy sky,
What lonely hearted souls refuse
 a crystal lullaby?
Mountains thrust --moonlit proud--
in cobalt clarity,
While each breath forms a fairy cloud
that stars peek down to see.
Here jagged hearts are gently healed
through charms that nature flings--
From mesmerizing jazz light...

The Inuit looked out of his igloo 
at the vast wilderness, endless snow, 
" Autumn is coming " he said to his wife,
and she answered " how will we know?"...

Half a year ago we were in bed and in love.
Insistent lips danced between sunshine smiles.

Juggernaut winds howling south;
Arctic colds, chill, in their mouths.
No respite through winter days
Unless north creep sunshine’s rays.
And the groundhog comes too late
Relegating to its fate
Year’s first month a gray estate.
               ...

hard. Diamond-like, it chisels
the frosty landscape....
