Could you spare a dime?
Yes, I’m glad I can help!

A Nautical Truth - Water Is Magnetic

This is for all those of an ocean-going mind who, for no apparent reason, are compelled down to the seas again.

Throughout history, water, in all its forms, has held an attraction to humanity. Whether it be wading 'neath a waterfall, paddling in the pool, walking by the weir, crossing a canal, riparian tendencies, such as

Your cold indifference
Keeps me at arm’s length
Perhaps the warm rays of my love
Will melt your icy heart

Echoes

Your absence echoes
through the quiet
places of my heart

reverberations
search for you 
~ returning ~
to simply fade away

You are gone
and warmth 
with you

Now loneliness paints
the icy walls of
my soul
with pulsing need...
and pulsing ache

Premium MemberThe Icy Obsession

My mouth loves ice, it's all so nice, 
I'd hunt it down at any price. 
I'd suck it until my gums go numb, 
Chew on it, even if it breaks a tooth or two.

Icy feelings

Icy feelings, anger’s chill, a heart turned to frost,
Old maidens tossing on wide beds, feeling lost.
Perhaps they can't sleep through the long, lonely night,
As the cold winds of longing drift through their sight.

Once, in her youth, that old maid had her grace,
Caught in the joys of those days, in a blissful embrace.
She’d scoff at the

Underneath The Thick And Icy Snow

Underneath the thick and icy snow is
buried the dormant wild grass that lost
its glitter: it's spring's emerald blanket
that covered the barren soil of meadows!

Even the blinding light of our main Star
doesn't shine too brightly over anything,
even afternoons are short and uninspiring;
this poet puts down his pen with mind ajar!

Christmas has been without any gleeful carols,

Icy Thoughts

I wish I could prevent frostbite. 
But sometimes that’s impossible. 
Ice that is rugged and sleek. 
Tapping my knuckles on it. 
Brand new ice. 
That came from nowhere. 

The avalanche. 
Almost killed me. 
Now I’m hundreds of feet high. 
And my arm and leg are visible just above the snow. 
I try to move my

Icy Things

Written By:  D. Collins 6/12/24


Bling, bling icy things won't get us anywhere.
They're given to show someone we really care.
The bigger the bling is the love we get back.
The larger the things is how we show our grat.


They come in many flavors, both hard and soft.
From 20-karat diamonds to just getting off.
People will play any

Stellar endings

Afloat in a river of stars,
Ecstasy knits the raft of thoughts,
A destination is what I seek,
Sailing away mindlessly, expecting the waters to speak.

The water calmly paves the way ahead,
As the fog of disturbance clears.
Hesitation takes bravery’s stead,
A detour that feeds on our fears.

Darkness fills the air,
It shadows the glorious sheen.
The magnificent aurora- my trail ahead,
Now

Icy Embrace

Your strong ebony arms hold my white transient body.
We are lovers now,
coupled in the cold night,
neither as bold without the other.

I will leave you soon,
tears falling.
You will stand stark in winter waiting,
eager for your spring lover.

Premium Membericy-hot

icy-hot,
as the shine resumes, 
after a cold rain.
unlike a hot Summer day,
I embrace the sun,
with car windows up,
and detoxify,
in a late
Winter sauna,
sunny side up.

icy darkness

in the icy darkness
beyond our garden 
foxes are screaming
framed by air frost
stars sparkle above
the clouds of my breath
the moon is weeping
the gaunt branches
of winter trees
framed by the night sky
agonised silent cries
a long note of a flute
wails away into 
the darkness of eternity

From The Icy Clouds

a
snowflake
while
falling
twirling  
spinning around
thus
parachuting
unto
the
sacred 
ground
thus
uplifting 
the 
call of winter
found
unto
the 
sacred ground
from
the 
icy clouds
