I made coffee and had a fire
Warming this cool October morn
Come close let us fill heart's desire

I made coffee and had a fire
In warm sunlight amour transpires
Our rekindled spark of love born

I made coffee and had a fire
Warming this cool October morn  ...

In the chilly hours of the graying gloaming,
silent shivers rise from the estuary.
Just before the waves churn in frothy foaming,
Goddess Moon approaches Her adversary.
Sun slinks away at Her approaching homing,
slowly shedding His cloak as Luminary.
She reigns all through the darkened and leaden night
until stubborn Sun...

Bitter, bitter, bitter
not as in a taste on tongue
or unrequited loves' remain,
only of wind thats wrung
all warmth from the air.

Bitter, bitter, bitter
all the way through to bone,
clenching chattering teeth,
and breath blown
on mittened hands.

Shine of sun to deceive
beckons one out of doors
brain has an idea of...

Early, chilly autumn morning
A light curtain of fog hangs low
Faint rusty colored leaves, sights bring
Through the curtain, as it lifts slow
Things are a bit hazy for now
Still waking from coffee, I walk
Knowing later will clear somehow
Then maybe I’m ready to talk
The weather changes around me
And...

I gazed through an iced crystal pane
Looking at three winter backdrops:
A tree is struggling under snow
Its maple branches drooping low.
Two small flowerbeds are asleep
beneath very deep, white blankets.
As I gazed, I became entranced;
All of the snow had disappeared
Revealing the presence of spring-
Tiny, green protuberances
appeared from...

"Chilly Air" 

I ponder on the things I have done; 
   the choices that I have made. 

As autumn has begun to change the green of nature, 
   to have a hint of cadmium red.

The air has a chill that cools...

I'm so dumb that when I ordered a chili dog, I expected it to be chilly.
But when it was hot, I demanded a refund, I made myself look silly.
The Hot dog vendor said that thinking is not one of my strong points.
Back in the 1960s...

He wanders around as it snows -
not easy without any clothes -
despite being old,
he isn't too cold
(but says that his dangly bits froze...)

Trembles in the autumn breeze
Imagining warmth...

Chilly Chandeliers 


Moth-like flakes danced around the streetlights
swaying in rhythm with the wind

there is a chirping
in the leafless frozen woods,
I hold out my hand
and cold icy feathers land-
there is both a fear and awe.

In a land that boasts
You can be warm as toast,
Because the sun shines here,
Every day of the year.

Today the opposite is true,
My fingers are turning blue.
The heaters on high while I watch TV,
Bed is inviting it seems to me.

Sitting here wrapped up tight,
In a sleeping...

NO ONE WANTS TO LIVE IN A COLD HOME
from the album "Heaters for Sale"
by Not Paul McCarney 

No one wants to live in a cold home, cold home
Uncle Albert says you should go home, go home
Turn the heat up or sit by the fire
Toasty as...
