Red.
It's love at its
Purist. It blooms intact
then love turns a numb, cold shoulder.
The frost....

Ed said he was a cannibal
How could he be any bolder?
Even so, when he got home late
All he got was the cold shoulder!...

When the world turns 
Its back on me
Giving me its frigid,
Cold shoulder
I know that your warmth	
Will always be there...

The cold shoulder of silence is more painful than rants and screamed curses.

If you leave her alone in the room
And sit outside on the swing,
Ruminating your moments,
It is grounds for punishment
But the cold shoulder isn’t so cold
When you’re returning the favor...

Standing in the cold, staring off into the distance,
I feel that I am not alone, though inside I know,
a warm hand will not be placed on my shoulder,
that will not be my comfort today, always never....

I wonder where to wander,
alone I am a loner; 
once your mate-rover
but now just a harmless pushover
for my path is over
by turning a cold shoulder
to me, you alter into a voiceover
of my kismet, a veiled exposure....

biting my tongue
finding my way
through the lie
it can't be seen
i know exactly
how it'll be
the looks 
and words 
saying your 3
people don't change
with a look back
off a cold shoulder
and a sigh in my eye
i can say
i tried...

Life is good 
For those who are understood.
Humanity is hard to find 
When you’re the one left behind.
People can be cruel
Treating you like a fool
Fear blinds their inhibition
Unwilling to listen 
No one giving you a chance
Cold shoulder at first glance....

In this ??cold weather?,
Don't give me the ??cold shoulder?
because you have ?#cold feet? about us.
We were skating on thin ??ice? with our first date.
But how else could we have tested the? waters??
I mean, that's why people break the ice in the first place.....

The Human Race

Carry on down your path
Walking your care free mile.
Mindlessly adhered to modern lanes, 
A blind infestation to its own life.
Stuck in the now, 
Stuck in the, me.
A cold shoulder to its very existence. 
Carry on down your path,
A head on crash with yourself....

Angel on hindsight
Foul on an area of light. A vanishing monk.
A living stalk. A living hen.
Drumroll - please.
Hence we fly, I dry.
What do we say, quiet please.
I fly like an eagle. I walk like the empty spirit.
Ecstatic Bombastic Flying.
Bravo my friend, you are welcome to heaven....

My old friend:
When will you run dry?
You are so familiar,
Some days I forget your pain.
I write to you every night,
Words unconsciously composed
In my dreams.
If only I could give you one cold shoulder
And you would disappear.
It would be a mistake, of course.
Without you
I am not me....

I Wish Your Warm Shoulder

your cold shoulder
dropped me to my knees
why was the weather bad

I drove uphill 
again and again
did you know I liked you

slope's slippery
my tongue slipped on me
why couldn't you forgive 

I'm not perfect
my cloth cut unique
why couldn't we be friends

cold-shoulder 
wind chill blowing 
negativity  
sweeping 
aside progression 
dismissing changes 
in over all 
prospective    
overriding    
strides upwards
on the climb to 
the top of the 
montion to gain 
a different vantage
point from which to 
view the landscape 
of this countryside 
filled with it's
hidden beauty...

I-t is God's command, 
N-ever give a cold shoulder, 
C-hoose to love neighbors. 

F-ight the poverty 
O-f the whole world nowadays, 
R-egardless of race. 

A-im to help them all, 
F-eeding their body and soul, 
R-eceive God's blessings. 
I-t's a unified 
C-hurch of Christ for Africa, 
A-id for fellowmen.

There once was this gal – much older
And I being young but bolder
Took hold of her hand
Said I am your man
But she gave me the old cold shoulder

Now I – being not a quitter
Thought how am I going to get her
I must make her mine
The very next time
My parents get a baby sitter

Sorry she exposed her vulnerability
she’s getting the cold shoulder
recognizing it all too well
totally undeserved
it upsets her mostly since
she’s guilty of it herself
on someone in her past
who didn’t deserve it either
and she’s sorry
but won’t make amends
she sucks it up full circle
rather live with the guilt

flower buds had now begun to bloom 
long cold winter was eager to depart
air was pregnant with aroma, perfume
romance was about to fill each heart
but a villain virus did us apart
we ran for cover, forgetting the spring
coloured beauty of flowers got a sting
for "beauty lies in eye of beholder"
eye was forced to do social distancing
spring went by giving a cold shoulder.
