Long Frigidly Poems

It's peaceful here in my backyard.
The crows sound happy
with warm October sunlight.

I just read about a deadly gathering in Las Vegas.
Absence of sun-drenched peace.
Inconvenient this time of lost loss.
Death is always inconvenient,
even when invited.

A veteran,

Death Comes

All arguments and denials were fruitless;
The deceased fell prey to the Master Thief.

The “One” whose icy-cold touch is . . .
Just Too Cold to Resist! . . . They Say!

No worries though . ....

I stand erect with outstretched hand Representing liberty, for many, a foreign land My fire dances an incessant jubilant glow
I represent hope for the oppressed to sow

 Pungent salts mixed with glassy sands

i tried
but my hands were tied
because she lied
and thusly love died

so now i tell them not in the way they should go
however, i do tell them in case they do not know
i tell them about...

drowning in waves of chiffon 
perfection,
a smile, a mask to avoid 
detection.
duckling from a swan, 
transformed,
shadows hidden by the storm.
crimson tears which fall and 
shatter,
upon satin sheets which roses 
scatter.
nary notice by passerby,
lost in the...

 Representing liberty,  for many,  a foreign land
 My fire dances an incessant jubilant glow
 Pungent salts mixed with glassy sand
 Linger on my tasting lips whilst serenading...

The wings of imagination,
the flights of fantasy,
the sky of puffy clouds,
the rays of rising sun,
the clamness of moon
     encrusted upon the stars,
     have brought me down today.

Non-forfeiting my troth, in bonny and buxom, I believed.
What good is too good? And why is better, better than worse? 
Given the first beginnings I merge intuition with silence,
And form my own variant of “das...

Into the valley to find my voice
that unique element 
which speaks only to me,
and is feebly, at times,
echoed in my words,
I fear.

Have you been to the valley
where echoes hide
beyond glistening roads of 
scorched obsidian marked:
“DO...

Those eyes trapped between thick lines of kohl, frigidly stare

But yet glued to the screen.

Those eyes tire with the glare

But are possessed by a power unseen.


A hundred emoticons fast as a pulse

Yet none stir her...

Winter breathes in sepia tones along a lonely two lane street
divided amongst the sweeping frozen dunes
now forced into shouldered amnesty

Street lights shiver in snowcapped bonnets
while sidewalks sleep ‘neath blankets of flittering flakes
The air, frigidly crisp…moves...

That’s so good they cannot get the stars!
The hand in soft glove won't help them to steal
The precious gift that meant to shine for us,
Its freedom’s a subsequence unforeseen

It is much tough for beauty on...

Window curtains in my room sway with the silent winds;
The cold smog crawls on the frozen garden covered with the mists.
I see everything slowly fades but the splendor around never chagrins.

Would it be romantic to...

sometimes i kiss the tip of a rainbow
golden maturity feels so ocean fresh
traces of lavender calms the vibe of overbearing reality
though time continues to be rebellious and uncaring
you provide a blanket of warmth that...

that frigidly cold new year
I was the sole bread earner
with a seriously sick husband
watery soup was all for dinner  

it was time for Easter
and spring break at school
my just-turned-teenager wanted to help
some extra bucks,...

morning sun makes me cry
i punish myself for making her go
i guess i was too anxious and too frigidly afraid all at once
i guess i watched too much of a certain thing on tv and...

Glistening, the flakes came down,
Landed and they drifted;
Sticking to the frozen ground,
Like powdered sugar sifted.

Covering the dirt, the trash,
Hiding things distressed;
Consuming gently, as if with ash,
And frigidly caressed.

Winters blanket covered all,
Calming noises to a hush;
Ceaselessly...

We see ourselves unimpeded initially 

Some are stricken with a view artificially 

We are told by others very specifically

There is a ceiling so proceed timidly

We try in vain with no support futilely

As we age blazing...

quiet and still
such a thrill
only wish i had someone to talk to

for you will deny me frigidly...

Sonnet to Hope

Ice crackles audibly on car and face,
Windy blasts slap frigidly at the back door,
How to escape this cold day’s confinement,
Surprise! Outside, Lantanas in full bloom.

Baby yuccas illumine a fence corner,
Their mamas and papas...

the ocean is understanding today
she listens to me
her answers can be harsh, yet gentle

the ocean is understanding today
she lets me embrace the shoulders of the quietude
she can be defiant at times, but at the same...

Autumn breeze frigidly touches ailing dreadful lives
Harshly darkness quietly surrounds the broken souls
Mellow serenades that once played between hearts
Pathetically have transformed into bitter sad songs

Somewhere beyond the flossy clouds
Cupid has lost his romancing arrows
Plays sad...
