Long Frostbit Poems

My Mind Heart and Soul 


I seem to laugh yet never entertained
My smile shine bright but my joy is detained 
Cold and sore my heart slowly disintegrates
Falling piece by piece into a dark cage 
A...

Have you ever played with it?
Even if just a bit.
Or thrown it.
Because you were in a snit.
Did you ever eat it?
Then throw out the pit.
Or caught it.
In your mitt.

Would you yell at it?
In a momentary...

In the moorlands of desires, 
I've forever sung choruses of
fertile faith, amidst the flock 
of bleeding birds, sprinkling
heartbeats on lush olive herbs, 
In the dream of retracing their 
scintillating season of beachy spring. 
'Hope' had...

Still I struggle to find the words
As I fight the urge
I'll either go under a tidal surge
Or make it out in the end I might emerge

Everyday, I've been getting carried away
Just putting myself closer to...

When nylon nights
trade crystal colours 
in the stalls of nimble 
butterfly wings, 
I blossom as an 
irenic origami 
fervently fabricated 
with snowflakes of 
greedy gloom, 
stealing royal violets 
from the smokey estuaries 
flowing beneath the...

Greetings!   
Are you well?  Stuck in hell with a life to run through?  With a shell covering your secrets and a mask over your feelings???  You can change if you...

Alien Nation

I come from a place of 
Transformative
Sights
Sounds
Inquiries,
Amour
Tranquility
Reverence

I sought an
Odyssey
Inspired by
The Man on the Moon

I wanted to be 
On top of the World
Like the North Pole
Lifted

Experience universality
Unities versatility

Thought I’d farewell…

When I arrived
My axis
Equilibrium
Shifted

Gravel unraveled
Charred to...

A Partridge perched upon a tree
entices him to throw something!
When songbirds sing and flap their wings  
two turtle doves, cause headache pain.
Those mocking words, thread-worn with wear.
 remind him of the dollars spent.
Defeat caves...

Never before
World ignored
An honest reward 
Thats been solidly deserved
Have you read this book before?
Im the ingnorent source
I feel lost and sore 
As if my feeling have been outsourced
Between the here and the never more
My defiant...

A flood of grackles,
black-leafing the tree
who seem to’ve forgot
that its not
Winter;
it’s Spring and everything
is about to flower.

Eva says they are starling
and they may be.
She says they crowd the uncrowded 
barebranch trees and blot out
the sun...

Wrapped in the aromatic blossoms 
of a modern-farmed orange 
orchard, a four-room shack in Visalia, 
California rises above the hard 
pan and overgrown rose bushes. 

The once palatial bell tower 
of Taurusa School, peaks 
over...

Yosemite’s Ephemeral Autumn Falls

Bald giants of swift water smoothed pale granite
Mark deep clefts for tumbling summer snowmelt
Rush released from frozen streams once frostbit
Silver swells - Ribbon Falls in pure ice melt -
Ephemeral streams slowed beneath...

A questing journey to mountain’s peak
Thro’ forests dark and battles thick
almost severing hope’s endless wick
‘Tis an answer our heroes seek

Traveling trio with hearts all true
with bow, with arrow, with sword and shield
A year or more,...

Fading photographs are strewn across alabaster tabletops,  
drenched in moonlight streaming through rustling curtains.  
Snow owls call out to each other through the whistling wind,  
as flakes of snow dust 
frostbit grass...

The fog sits heavy on broken ground,
Snow lays light where the stubble’s browned.
No sun, just hush and hoofbeat slow,
And breath that drifts like chimney smoke.

The cows stand scattered, heads hung low,
Dark shapes caught in a...

A summer lie becomes the winter pang, bitter and cold
now all I have left is shadows to hold

All those tomorrows promised while you sang, simply fools gold
even coming spring feels broken and old.

So come whisper...

I know what makes you Cruel
… the same thing, makes me Cold
an Utter Lack of Love
if the Truth, be Told …

… a Harsh, Razor-Reality
A Frozen Heart – Is So Icy
… like a Solid-Block Picture-Frame
nothing Shows...

I'm sorry, I know i was wrong.
I am sure you  heard others sing the same song.

I was wrong you are right,
I miss you, i don't want to fight.

My heart is hurting and  broke.

I would ride straight to the storm back in the day
"Weather be damned," I'd swear loud an' duck my head
I'd stay in the saddle 'til the sun went down

Christmas time

Visions of little snowmen,
Tinsel in the tree,
It’s that time of year again,
And presents there will be.
You hear the tune, your favourite tune,
You find you sing along, 
Getting very excited when…
You hear that Christmas song.

I'll ride with you awhile, my friend
Until the wind turns cold.
I'm not as young as I once was -
Just feelin' kinda old.

I used to ride straight to the storm -
"Weather be damned", I'd say.
I'd yell...

To thee I pledge my love, so still thy ghosts;
The past, a haunting blows, but reapers chill,
And bade we lay within the darkness close,
Me breathless blue, but you so bluer still;

Against my breast shall love...

'Twas winter on a frostbit afternoon,
After the fall, and glory of the sun,
Where I imagined to believe in June,
To melt the ice inside this lonely one.

Snowflakes did slide inside my soul and stir,
Fervent feelings of...

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

CONFECTIONATES  Hurt Teeth Here In My Mouth Twenty Below
 
My teeth are bitter cold
Aching so much so
Bit down on a red pop-cycle
After inhaling mint malted butter brickle
Nasal dip tried chocolate chip
So cold outside can't...
