Loss of Love
Maybe this is a cliché, but it’s not you it’s me.

And saying the world steadily revolves around me.
I would normally disagree, but with his wisdom he...

The Valley Aurora
Oh, in inspirations winter dreaming, I’ve dream't
Of a mystic valley of the Aurora Borealis,
A chambered realm of frozen colors,
Exploding within reflected light aglow,
In the hushed silence of ice and snow.
Here the pondering thoughts are set...

Ice Ages Come
Ice Ages Come With Colder Days
By February March moves on to centuries
Still the sky comes laden with atmospheric vapor
As light as ice, clouds abundance falls to the ground
As thaw fails to gather life’s potential
If nature could take her pulse...

BUDDIES
Moon's midriff chequered with light blue letterboxes and legos
Carbon-dating the museums of our miniature hands riding the nightingale jukeboxes,
Contoured in concertos of glacier nightgowns and batmobiles...
A topcoat of my father's snickerdoodle smiles sowed...

Berth
She wanted to go back
to the place that expelled her-
Octopode ink on a birth certificate.
Black smoke, not blue,
Dark smatter hid from view
Pale pink sunrise
Baby blue skies...
It rained the day she cried,
newborn, still womb warm.
Instinct to...

Runner
When the heart feels the
weight of unvoiced verses,
as the verdant embers of Venus
follow the frozen warmth
and the permafrost flickers
of persimmon and cinnamon,
like poetry slipping through
tortured time,
I stand at the cusp of
withering wishes,
like the silver of...

Shadow
I've been waiting for someone to shed some light,
To take my hand and lead me back
Into the arms of the earth.
I've been ankle-deep in frost-kissed puddles,
Wishing for the welcome mat to sweep me
In out of...

When Savages Sang Strongly 1
The leopard kills for love
sun burns for souls,
the moon moans for blood
stars frost the steppes,
the fire of your eyes
warms the wastelands,
alone the horse rides
Tree of Life leans to the winds,
the arrow strikes deep
a wound becomes...

The greatest threat to the world is climate change,
driven by human emissions and resulting in shifting weather;
the Earth's temperature is rising and little hope remains.
The Arctic permafrost, glaciers, and sea ice wanes,
and rising ocean...

Spit Shine
Polar theology
Cold-hearted hate-based belief
Frigid permafrost principles of sub-zero greed
Rigid igloo authority

Void shoe box coffin space ... crypt...

An Alternative View
We did it ourselves with our waste and our greed
Warnings were given but no-one took heed
They said the sea level slowly would rise
as heat and pollution built up in the skies
They said that the ice...

Blue Hole

not just the usual winter blues
more like permafrost with icicles
piercing all colour out of me

the dogs on my shoulder
a pack of wild hounds
haunting me down

Ghosts
Trapped beneath the surface of the ice again
Nothing I say will penetrate the thick crust of permafrost
That has surrounded and enveloped me.
Sympathies of my confidants have been exhausted
A well has been bled dry by slow...

that drip off her tongue
like sharp shining jewels
formed somewhere deep
in the permafrost of her,

Daniel's Song
A once dear friend, he now is gone,
But not into oblivion,
I search my heart, I scratch my head,
But it is clear that he’s not dead.
The silence is quite staggering,
The permafrost yet lingering,
Though months have past...
