Long Snowstorms Poems

Solace snowflakes fall upon my cheek
Been stressed out throughout the week
Saw the crystalline fractals of ice fall too
When I faced a sentimental winter so true
When I faced a sentimental winter with you

Flurry of snowstorms rush...

When we were younger
Our hearts and hands had melded
And brightened up a world

Then in winter, came snowstorms
And lightning, to burn up our shelter
A dragon roaring proud

So we were dashed, were broken
A nasty scar formed upon...

The New Year has come wafting on the wings of winter
The high latitudinal areas of the northern hemisphere
Would be in the grip of frequent snowstorms severe
Throwing life in desolate isolation and out of gear.
The cold...

Fall few and far between
The thousands of the common lot
That sink to nothing in the march of time.

     Days like this,

Grandpa grew hay and corn and vegetables on his farm,
And in the Autumn on bright sunny days we all helped him;
With the gathering, reaping and gleaning to get in the Fall crop,
Then the family gathered...

The hurricane's over, we begin to awake
We go outside to look around
We see trees, leaves, water subsiding
And power lines knocked down
It has been said, "We have no power, our lights are still out"
I hear this...

Serenity - Lotus of My Soul

Too long, my soul,
Uninvited city noise
And fleeting seconds
Separates us 
Then robs us of moments
To meet through blended rhapsodies
In pure hues of solitude 
And soft shades of serenity
Yet, reassuring arms gather...

As I walk along the pathway
   I feel the warmth
Of the sun’s rays,	
   I start to notice my surroundings
Of leaves and their many different shapes.

Trees start to change their color

My wife and I traveled here
To walk on water
With ice pics and an old shiver

The Mackinaw Straits
Where Huron and Michigan open their mouths
Kiss and hiss
Under the legs of the great suspension bridge

From which a high-rise...

Serenity

Too long my soul,
Separated by 
Uninvited city noise
And fleeting seconds -
Robbed of opportunity
To meet in blended rhapsodies
Of pure autumnal hues –
Reassuring arms, gathering us in 
Like bright scarlet umber,
Rest like folded hands
When I forget how...

Some high latitude areas of north hemisphere
Will be in the clasp of sporadic snowstorms
Others will be mantled with dense opaque frost
Longing to feel the reviving warmth of the...

The evening news lulls me into a nightmarish sleep. 

In the distance storm clouds are brewing. I hear the rolling thunder of division and dissonance. On the horizon I see lightning bolts igniting fiery hatred....

Old Mr. Oak

Old Mr. Oak had bumps on his sides.
In his tired arms, black birds did reside.
He had seen all kinds come and go,
watching the young become old and slow.

The largest and king of mighty...

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE

JOHN M. ARRIBAS





I am demanding my own star in the sky when I die
I’ve handled all the hardships no judge can deny
I survived the obstacles nature placed in my path
Withstood the inanity...

Where I come from
It’s dark and quiet
Eleven months of the year
Then one fine day
Everything changes

All of a sudden
It’s bright and snowing
And I come to life
After a long hibernation

I love to see my old friend
Elf sitting...

Born in February when snowstorms were heavy and frequent,
and to keep me warm their parental touch was God-sent...
I could see them smile, delighting in my miracolous birth;

To maintain a life
Above all the strife
Pain and sorrow
Is to choose
A sight so sharp
It sees through the dark
And sees even in the light
Things that defy human sight
Things impossible
Things unprecedented
Things invisible
The ability to look
To see beyond...

Frozen


Stop the winter; bring back summer.
I was happy once.
Stop the heartbreak; paint a landscape.
Let me fall in love.


I need a kiss from my true love to warm my frozen heart.
Let it go!  Let it...

So many dreams
Both day and night
Awake or asleep 
It's you in my sight

What do I dream about? 
So many things
All bases are covered
The pendulum swings

From ones I can't speak of 
To ones that I can
But...

I stand here alone in my garden,
no smile on my face, just a frown,
whenever I feel my life's on the up
someone then turns my world upside down.

From the sky,I descend upon the earth before me.
Frozen feathers fall by my side.
And with that,the air grows fridgid.
Soon the sun will become dark.
All your eyes will be frozen shut.

Feel this shroud of permafrost.
It shall...
