Best Black Ice Poems

The ice changes everything. I did not see it, but wow, did I feel it as I slipped on it, losing my balance twice.  I caught myself both times.  Excited that I did not fall.  Oops. Another patch. I almost go down....

wham!

you tried …
tried to tread upon me
weight placed, committally
body-to-heel, heel-to-sole
sole … to soul
my renewed spirit
(since the aberration, You)
such a grand target
blossoming like ink on damp khadi
so who wouldn’t, right?
I mean …
it was there, waiting …
readily available
seemingly compliant
and you have to scrape your
boots SOMEwhere …
so …...

Colorado rain thought sunshine was safe
Behind the trash-bin in plain sight
Time to move asleep again safe again
Waiting for ice new years eve never trust

In the center of your chest there is a beat 
that has the power to make everyone retreat
for the center piece is your heart
made of black ice
pumping slush through your veins
with calculated precision you reign
with well timed fits you collect sympathy
when you yourself are about...

BLACK ICE 

Some say the world will end in ice, 
a pitch black universe in sacrifice.  
Earth is swallowed by the sun, 
from Earth’s horizon, galaxies run. 

Nebulas lose fuel that star their souls, 
galaxies are eaten by black holes. 
Stars blink out with...

Black Ice
Hobbes

Her love is a gamble true,
Just like driving on black ice.
Be careful or else she'll scorn you,
So take a chance and roll the dice.
Should you fail, your soul will suffice,
But victory will taste so nice,
She'll fool you, not once but twice.
She'll take your eyes...

Winter fairies tunnel deep in snowbanks
pop up here and there- unleashing a prank
they're fond of black ice pie
canning fruit and fireflies
above each of their doors hangs a snowflake.

Come spring they have to be on the caution
when the skyline pocks with blackbird and hawk
if they let...

Northern vagabond 
winter is coming to peck you apart
it has a black ice heart
as it kisses your blue lips
the blood will leave the limbs
to protect the soul of the heart.
but city people won't bring you in.
They've just clawed from under- a summer of blood
their conditioned...

The ice was black with a frozen muse
Slippery steps through troublesome thoughts
Always trying not to fall
Desperate for words to release emotions
That felt too cold to process
Where are the answers when needed?
Life brings so many losses
Including failures I must learn to accept
When the black ice cracked
I...

The morning was painted with a frigid brush
The car gargled up a February moon
I had the early A.M road all to myself
almost
A death wish was gaining ground in large chunks
together we entered the throat of the black ice snake
after a few side-by-side terrorized seconds
the red...

Yes, we'll let
     the wind
  fly through 
our 
hair
we can move 
            like 
            angels
during the storm
"Unreal city"

It gets into all the machines
and freezes up the works,
it coats the sidewalks and front steps,
and slipping on it hurts.
It sheens the railing so that when
you grab them gloves get wet,
it lays on branches so they break,
the living and the dead.
But worst of all, it...
