Short Hard Lines Poems

Cold Mountain's calling
Winter days die young
Cold rain is falling
Black cloak has been flung

Carve my face
upon Cold Mountain's ice. 
Chisel a trace 
of a smile around my eyes. 
Cut hard lines
deeply soft beside my mouth. 
Send my heart
on a slow boat headed south.

Cold Mountain beckons
I'll be there too soon
Cold river reckons
Cold rain hides the moon

I'm lost in what seems reality
a strong sense of vitality 
youth and ignorance lost
hard lines stand where once was soft

the air i breathe is tight
little to see with little light
sending small children in to fright
as thet fly off into the night
still stood staring at the seconds before
the past is forgotten, forever more...

My childhood, credible, conceivable or appreciator,
Sagacious, replenish, reprobator and republished hocker. 
My childhood was a joker....
