The cold wind searches
For warmer climes...

Winter is hanging tight. 
I hope tomorrow bring warmer climes.
I hope the sun shines bright....

'Tis near the end of year again

I saw honking geese in outbound skein,

Off, away to warmer climes

No lovers they, of wintertime....

as red leaves turn to dust
and a chill is in the air,
I see the wild geese
in perfect formation fly
off to southern climes.
a bit of me longs to go along
for soon I'll hear old winter's song......

A sunny drive to Forrey climes
To mix and mingle and think of times
                             That  travel by,
A number of faces from befor,
Of new ones there are many more,
They pass befor my eye....

Aquarius

Aquarians think ahead of their times
But are not material for all climes
Rare losers they are
With losses bizarre
They are normally not party to crimes.

The first nimbuses have sighed, fresh winds but not meadows 
Brooks are brown but composed 
It's yet another season to plough our barren love
Sowing between sheets...

She walks in beauty like the night,
Not of cloudless climes and starry skies,
But of neon signs and pulsing lights.
A muse for masters who paint in brights,
Vixen with burning eyes,
 hollow cheeks and trembling thighs....

Formations fly, two vees silhouetted 
against a leaden sky, winging their way
to warmer climes, according to flight plan
scheduled by nature, primal instinct, geese
programmed, heed the call when leaves turn then fall....

 Nature seems to languish in winter
 Trees bare it all as snowflakes fall
 Bird fly south to warmer climes
 Yet all hope is not lost
 Spring will renew their
 Splendor and glow
 Birds will sing
 Dulcet
 Songs

Bare back
Sweet dermal fells
Sublime landscape, rare traveled
Olympus, shamed soft, shapely, supple
Tender esses slide to warmer, wilder climes
Delightfully dimpled, seductively swayed
From tresses to recesses ...
Succulent....

Lemon brightness in my eyes

to warmer climes in winter he flies

it’s in his nature to choose his wife

instinctively choosing to mate for life

fidelity causes some men to flinch

they could learn a thing or two from


my finch...

birds they are flocking
wishing I had wings to fly
off to warmer climes

Today I am mindful of memories of warmer climes,
Warm breezes and cold lemonade and daisies.
I feel regret for things that no longer are
Or will be exactly so again.
As I focus on the memories, I press them to my heart
Crushing the sweet fragrance of their blooms and inhale
Ethos....

Before I knew her name
or ever heard that voice,
so soft as shapeless flame,
my love took limb,
for love must be flesh
or else could nothing be.

And She,
possessed of a sweetness
that is both promise
to the brave,
and a message 
from radiant climes
is both answer to prayer
and destiny before me....

Howling artic gusts
frighten birds on snow clad trees
frozen wings swept off

Winter sun burns ice
storm force gales melt and mellow
creatures free to roam

Window frames rattle
wooden huts quake in harsh climes
homely folks cluster

Reindeer sleigh dots sky
children’s starry-eyed rapt gleam
carols thaw iced fog...

      Bronx cheers, muffled in December
        ‘The Boys of Summer’ have vanished
            gone the way of the playground
            ghosts of warmer climes 

      Slants of ice fill the empty stands
         Cheers – or boos – reserved 
             for vagabonds
             for drifting wads of paper

From darkness rose
the light of time
Reborn each day
from Eastern climes

In shadows wake
our future’s swim
Cross lakes of fire
toward Adam’s hymn

Repeat, repeat
new endings start
Redemption flames
with nature’s spark

As echoes answer
in voices new
Virgin mornings
— bid night adieu
