Best Cold War Poems

I am winter's nemesis.I fight it tooth and nail.
In my youth it declared a war on me.
When I licked that icy rail.
Winter has many weapons to choose from.
Fear not for so do I.
A call my shovel Excali-burrr
My Ranger has four wheel drive
But winter's arsenal is...

King Vlad Redux – Second Cold War

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin’s grimy fingerprints on current history
are for him nothing to gloat about—au contraire I say emphatically:
His actions bespeak one who’s not an architect for peace—not at all,
rather a quite deceitful dictator and a harbinger of a Second...

I'm torn across axis yet to exist,
Or had once been, since been replaced,
By a sense of self and lack thereof,
When we, by they encased.

Cleavage adorned in modest terms,
Abreast as if more than one,
Still less than two, duplicitous you,
Less I divide by hegemon. 

Senses shook, a...

COLD WAR ARTIST 


The art of such intention is fatigue
At living lies outside the scope of death,

To wear in the last blitzkrieg
A shroud meaning artist, a wreath

Of columbine in the hair, but the kitchen eyes,
Carbuncled knees betray the giver’s art.

Down on the doorstep,  she’ll...

My thumbs pressed on the trigger.
The M-2 bucked its load.
I squinted down the barrel
And watched his head explode.
An early morning ambush,
A steaming Luzon hell,
For Ferdi and Imelda,
Our Cold War clientele.

The mission was generic:
Suppress the NPA*. 			
It didn't really matter
Just who got in the way.
I carried...

We were like brothers since we’re Grade 9.
We expect to be cool and end things so fine.
What happen when you get so cold?
Snubbed me to death when I just so called…

Now that we have a bad clan!
A cold war that is not part of my...

A series of hello’s, and only that;
We are each other’s familiar stranger.
Those glances ***** yet unsuspecting,
My soul begins to wonder-
My thoughts, they dance and wander.

A careful denial to a careless disregard;
Surrounded by a wall t’was built amiss.
A trap in a non-existent black hole
A suffocating sorrow-
A...

I hear it was a war
a war that was cold
was it fought in winter?
in cold weather?

I hear it was a war
a war that was cold
was it fought hesitantly?
by those with cold hearts?

I hear it was a war
a war that was cold
was it fought quietly?
with frozen...

She said: 
'I am cold.'
I said: 
'You have a lips' fever.'...

The war it's cold with no signs of any ending, it's like adding another twenty years to a life sentence, even in the heat of the moment lies a cold kitchen, with lukewarm souls, in a dark prism, what's a prison to a free spirit,...

THE REAL END OF THE COLD WAR  1989



This is why the Soviet Union collapsed?

The rail engineers were then all women  -

Who stopped working in uniform - relapsed

(This is why the Soviet Union collapsed.)

They did cocaine lines  on the steel,  perhaps

Relaxing on...

Your Tirane
Will not last! 

I will end 
Your chest's legacy.

I will Overthrow
Your kisses, 
And your  lips' irony....

Deficient air I breathe in my lungs
In this world now I live, daddy's are careless
The children feeling helpless
Mother's have to play two characters
All I can see is the tears
That flow down their cheeks
Why am I disrespected by the one's who I look up to
I stick...

The horsemen have arrived on their menacing mares,
Whose stiletto-hoofed horseshoes click-clack on an achromatic static; 
Silent staccatos inside an ultraviolet light.

As vidalian-dampened eyes drip viridian veneers before the mounted steeds,
And embrocations of nuclear infernos' fumes simmer their cimmerian shades,
A penumbral eclipse gallops atop the sickened...
