Still, in my pajamas, cold, ‘tis Winter.
Purple and gray wool socks, and still, cold feet.
Yet i’d walk down into the oaks, with sun’s
light be soaked, at the Summer-plumed heartbeat.

Into the glowing moss and down the hill,
like my grand, who’d make glorious foothold
into the street. Still,...

A frigid morning snowstorm
embraces its many guests,
a white veil at this wedding,
reluctant bridegroom.

How can I be so heartless
Do I really call all the shots
I expect change from everyone else
But I'm not willing to budge an inch
How does anyone love me so much

Do I just go along with it
Do I like being in control
I have everything planned in...

March nights, cold and bitter,

       Awaiting spring

         Just teasingly out of sight.


       Cold feet pressed up against

Here i satnd outside your door with heart in hand ,
wedding ring and band ,hoping that you'll understand ,
that this lust once love is lost in thought again,
Can you comprehend that you are just a woman and I a mere man?...

Cold Feet 

 My legs are cold turning into lumps of ice
If I get up, they may break off like icicle on roofs
In Oslo when the spring comes around 
Many people are killed that way an instant frozen 
Diffusion a deep frozen head that can’t...

Every time I see you, I am afraid to look 
For fear that I may stare, and my awe of you will be mistook 
As not a symbol of my adoration, but of something otherwise 
That's why when you look at me, I tend to...

""I mean I have a mission 
at my discretion waking everyday 
in the morning. I know I should be 
delighted but with my head all on 
fire I'm tired, sometimes quite 
beguiled... . "Two tone frogs on

Crackling cold, satchel in tow. 
Back for the role of baby for home. 
For mama and daddy,
I’m proper lil Natty. 
Back for the holds, cuddled for soul.

To love, to hope and to care -
I want to steal away all these rares,
Profiting them mine
For only me.

A needy child hungering warmth
Is stuck with cold and tiny feet....

There are days into the sea I step,
Ever mindful of its depth.
Against my shins the froth enchants,
til intrigue tugs me to advance.	
While writhing weeds like serpents’ snare
climb in deceit my skin--yet fair--
Rarely do I tread chest high
and never has she scaled my eyes.
Ever mindful, submissive...

We stood together eyes staring at each other
The numerous windows of sight staring back scared me
My prince seems far away from me
I feel the ground open and I got swallowed
Is he saying no?

Enervated and energized after cold shower
the perfect tonic to gin body though o'clock
wee hours August thirty one two thousand
nineteen - natural buzz to stave off relished
sleep, thus refueled with zest able to chop
chop thru printed material (dictionary seat

of pants newpage turner with a-z characters)
and no...

when we took a tour
each one there was a juror
were less and fewer

had been hard to beat
according to latest tweet
they will have cold feet

what you always knew
targets were of high value
destroy must do

even when afraid
budget was prepared and made
we will need their aid

where we...
