wisteria like grapes hung on their roods;

to lambent grasses...

When gusty winds blow, riling my troubled dawn in gelid woes
Squall of my throes dissipates in scented whiffs of budding rose.

Paraded like nameless cattle
Counted and cooped as poultry
Numb and gelid they lay
Only thing alive
Was A desire
For a smooth
Kiss of

Frothy-topped cappuccinos
Gelid surfaces of lakes and streams
Halos...

Our souls bonding our love,
Renewing our marriage vows,
As hand in hand we trudged...

View to a ChillView
atop
a mountain –
ageless, timeless –
seductive mistress with frigid fingers
crisp, cool, caressing, chilling, corrupting.
Winter’s beauty,
stealing each
gelid
breath.
