Chocolate ice cream, you've been waiting,
But my temptation is abating..
I've laid to rest the chocolate ooze,
Today, there's another one I choose.
Sending regards to both bean and cow,
Caramel crunch is my main squeeze now.

The weather around is quite cold sometimes,
The glorious plants are now a frozen sight.
The always angry sea is locked in a frigid bite,
The beautiful sky is now grey, black and white.
The sound of happiness is now pitch silence and cries,
The oh so twinkling stars are now a sight for the sore eyes.
The crackling laughter now comes in a disguise,
Once wise thoughts are now depressing lines,
This always romanticized cold is now my dreadful state of mind.

The side of a road’s called a shoulder, but why?
The resemblance, to me, isn’t striking.
The berm or the edge, a more literal choice,
Would be, somehow, much more to my liking.
I enjoy a good metaphor when apropos
But in this case I’m driven to wonder
Why not elbow or ankle or even an ear –
All could help to keep stop lanes asunder.
Who came up with this phrase? Not a bureaucrat, no.
Maybe somebody clever with wordin’
And because of his efforts, we’re left, to this day,
With the need to thus shoulder the burden.

Accepting an unpleasant certainty.
The poignant silence of an empty home.
Unanswered calls relay disharmony.
The world is melancholy monochrome.
No person should be made to feel ashamed
Of intimate emotions. Left to roam.
I know I shouldn’t cast abrasive blame,
But pain can make me act in ways inapt.
I’m left to wonder, was it all just games?
No sense of closure. Have my heart strings snapped?
With ev’ry passing moment all alone
I know the doors are closing, I am trapped.
An icy rain is falling ‘pon my throne.

have been given
the cold shoulder
icy cold encounters
are now the new norm
within our realm of reality
the sea of change hath frozen over
there is black ice upon the broken
bridge of chance
tried to move across the iced over sea
suddenly the ice began to creak underneath
my bare feet then the ice finally broke
causing me to fall into the freezing water
tried to escape the icy waters
was able to finally pull myself
back up onto the icy surface
did not come out unscathed as
a result of the fall i experienced
emotional frostbit

Angel on hindsight
Foul on an area of light. A vanishing monk.
A living stalk. A living hen.
Drumroll - please.
Hence we fly, I dry.
What do we say, quiet please.
I fly like an eagle. I walk like the empty spirit.
Ecstatic Bombastic Flying.
Bravo my friend, you are welcome to heaven.

Standing in the cold, staring off into the distance,
I feel that I am not alone, though inside I know,
a warm hand will not be placed on my shoulder,
that will not be my comfort today, always never.
