Best Coldness Poems

the spring air is damp
the sun false in its brightness
spring is a mirage
as winter's coldness lingers
I look at the sun and dream...

the catholic nurse
all sensitive
caring noticing
everything
what can she think
of my hot/cold torment

always near blowing it
living in the fast lane
so friendly kind
the girls
dewy eyed
wanda abandoned me
bolton is in my hands

and yet my coldness
hurts
the more emotional
they stay
trying to find a reason
for my ice-like suspicion
fish eyes
coldly indifferent eyes
suspect everything...

In The Coldness of Time

The cold silence
has frozen our resolve;
depression hangs 
like a bleeding icicle;
trying times test our love supreme.

While we wait,
time continues its task;
and life lingers on....

Summer’s bleached itself
to bone and stubble. Mirage
is shimmer, false reflection.

First ice on the pond
a mirror of last winter
so coldly perfect, shattered....

Trees kissed by cold lips
Stripped down to naked branches
Mother Nature's snub...

Don’t expend coldness
To burn hole into my heart;
Dainty dreams turn ashes....

Coldness


I


these winter nights undertake my body 
usurps my reserved warmth with a strangle hold
scraping my nape with night fissures
of black bleeding

my body shrieks to the jerking marrow
and denudes the caverns through my nose
as my breath is a frozen gust along 
the obsidian sky 

fingertips paralyzed...

the carpet is cold
smushy between my thin toes
window left open...

Coldness up layers Warmth

Sanctuary, in the early light and misty dawns
balance appearing untouched by fear and
doubt that crumbles in front of us in sudden
disillusionment.

Falseness, and bareness, capture the tears of another
pronouncing love in an unfamiliar way
confronting each day with uncertainty, containing
indifference finding in time, life...

the chilled wind from the dark winters night kissed me my last goodnight
Walking,walking,walking was all I could do
Every step I took there was a crunch from the crisp new snow that had fallen.

I decided to sit underneath an old dying oak tree
The cold paralyzed ...

Morning  of anguish
    stunned people merged coldness
           tied to the station...

park of frozen sights
warmth of delightful carols
great winter-joy glow...
... virtually I see while enjoying Christmas time here in the Tropics!

gathering delights
midst vibrant sweet fellowships
thankful* to the Lord...
... actually I bask into while in this winterless place!

*Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in...

I 
Will
Stay here
Forever
In your warm embrace 
When all is coldness and empty
When Yaldaboath’s throne of stars crumbles and fades away 
Forever I will stay in heaven’s warmth with you, oh Christ on a throne of wisdom’s pearls

I am 

rush of wind,
upwelling seas,
weathered rock 
reforming,

libration of the 
moon at play,
dust of stars
rebirthing.

I sing
among the spheres,
take mirrored water
for a canvas,

and for the gemsbok
in Namib
remain unmoved,
uncaring;

then I grow limbs,
in self reflection rise, 
grow clever hands,
create anew 

and stand, 
a part of,
not apart from,
All That...

EARLY POEMS XIX

Bound
by Michael R. Burch

Now it is winter—the coldest night.
And as the light of the streetlamp casts strange shadows to the ground,
I have lost what I once found
in your arms.

Now it is winter—the coldest night.
And as the light of distant Venus fails to penetrate...
