Short Defrosting Poems

frozen coffins melt
prehistoric bones revealed

Abundance bone chilling, defrosting everything, fells great herbaceousness, icebound January kills lawns made nearly opaque, quelling riotous snow. Toppling under volatile winds xylocopa yearns zealously

White sheets rattle in surging winds billowed free
I fly suspended dangling from stars dancing
Moon cajoles like my father laughing at me
Butterflies land in swarms gathering goodness 
Pouring syrup on waffles honeyed sweetness...

Spring in Beijing
Alexander Bugh
The once was a man who walked in Beijing
He walked and he walked admiring the spring
The flowers started to bloom and trees to green
The lake was defrosting, a wonderful sight to be seen
But the poor blind man saw not a thing.

White  house  picket  fence  garden
Black hair kohl eyes  blue rose lips 
Chef folding egg whites into souffle
Defrosting preparing cooking lunch
Sculpture of a laurel-crowned  bust
Oriental  rugs  bare  wooden  floors
Inhale   a   sweet  antique  floral  air
Chink  iced-tea glasses Dominoes...

Cold as  winters breath
Frozen ice inside of me
When will I find an answer
When will it be--when will it be

Lost in the moment
Inside my head
Will it be a hundred years
Or for only a day--only a day

Hands cold as ice
Icicle upon my breath
Defrosting internally
Or will it never be--never be....

let my mind be cool as fridge
keeping temper cool all day
and wisdom nutrient intact
defrosting at will

DEFROSTING ICE

temperatures soar behind closed
doors
red hot touches oozing from
pores

CHAMPAGNE BUCKET

she reaches across his body
taut
hand dips as seduction is
sought

ICE CUBES

a single block strategically
placed
defrost drips as muscles are
traced

The sun peeks a mischievous child
In hide and seek, 
Defrosting the windows with its breath; 
Mists of a night forgotten by sleep
Fading like a ghost bidding farewell.
I whisk away the blanket of slumber
From my eyes
That I may wonder at nature's tears
Thaw from crystals
In every leaf of greenery
While statuesque trees
Point to heaven in seeming praise, 
All these as I traverse
The asphalt-paved wrinkles of this
Prehistoric giant's face....

Frozen items need some time
So surfaces may soften.
In the center, they may stay
Rock-hard - it happens often.

Microwaves may hasten things
So you won’t have to wait,
If you’re very hungry or
In case you’re running late.

Food is easy to defrost – 
Unwrap it and you start,
But feelings don’t respond as well
When ice is in your heart.

It may take a lot of work
When boundaries have been crossed
To melt the anger and the hurt
And let your heart defrost....
