Oh my! This sly staircase, a coiled serpent, struck on the Christmas eve when stars blinked through the dark veil, still it lurks. ...

A day so fine, no ills on my mind, then it's late and angst lays me down those rude intrusive thoughts those bruising, bad night thoughts They come at night, enter my head, when out the light and prone in bed. Lay me down with my brain's views and intrusive soon fiddles my pillow. Nighty, my sane fights madness that night...

The same kind of nights we see the same times a year. People play people, break their hearts then blame the moon and stars, not the beer and the bars, for all the tears. Down the road, round the back. Wake up without recount for who or what was just unluckily near. Bruises take a while...

beneath the shroud of moonlit mist he waits with lips like poisoned wine his touch a whisper, cold as death his promise sweet as love divine his voice, a hymn of midnight vows a song spun soft in shadowed breath each word a silken strand of fate that lures me to his velvet death his kiss ignites, his hunger claims my pulse dissolves in...

How long wait for sun? Darkness starts to stun. Frostbites have begun, The heater blows cold. The worst cold foretold. So cold, the north pole. A wait to console... a plea to my soul. Words cold in my mouth. Deep ice yet there's drought. I'd die if it's south. Dark veils, sun deferred Polar nights, I heard. Survival blurred. Death has a threshold. As cold nights unfold....

A state of tension and fear. Forests are much more than trees. Nature experiences on a wild night, with strange discoveries without scientific explanations. Cold gust hisses between the trees, even though there...

it’s past sleep the presence of quietness lingers dark cheeks against the window pane but there’s light on my side of the street Christmas lingers like electricity surging through wires and the switch won’t be turned off quite yet my tree stands tall in its present darkness because it’s past sleep but my mind lingers over this poem that I must complete before I climb under warm sheets and I switch to dreams of proverbial sugar plums no crumbs left for the...
