Icebergs
Winters freezing wilderness.
Icebergs gliding silently.
Mirror stately sailing ships.
Frozen into ice.

Coffee Icebergs
I watch them melt
imagining the arctic
slowly melting into the sea
until there is nothing
left of ice worthiness.
I guess I'll suffer with hot coffee.

Church of Ice
A glassy sea of crystalline degrees
sustain a mass of icebergs in its pews
that lift their icy eyes in melting pleas
to wrest the dying of their waning hues.
A stanza from my poem, Obscure Land of Lights

Is It Too Late
Icebergs in the Antarctic and Arctic are menacingly melting,
Mud slides, freezing Winters, summers are sweltering,
Oceans are encroaching, drowning Earth,
Rainfalls severe across its girth and dearth,
End of humanity, a dire situation globally threatening....

GREENLAND
Land of white purity and grace.
Ice, sea, snow, and you brace
Yourself as the wind cuts your face.
Whales break the surface
And icebergs in their slow race chase
Each other from the island’s south face
In this barren arctic place....

Winter Wails
searching for scant food
wolves foxes hares and bears roam ---
snow owls taunt hungry harp seals
northern cardinals
dig icebergs and peep within
ice fish swiftly hides in holes

Climate Change - Roll Forward To the Year 2200
We’ve just returned
from a cruise to the Bahamas
and were so fortunate
to observe penguins and polar bears
frolicking on the huge icebergs
We’re looking forward to Alaska in December
for our sunshine summer holiday!

Lingering Glimpses
Tentativeness has become pure permanence.
Overindulgence turn true to life temperance...
Boulders resemble icebergs of sturdy snow rocks,
Bonfire looks like lively long burning lava blocks...
Something seen; something hidden; everything subtle,
Living and dead, betwixt heaven and hell shuttle...

Verse
Such a Tease
She makes an early showing,
her warm breath blowing;
an Eastern sunrise glowing,
flowers up and growing.
Melted icebergs flowing,
men on tractors sowing;
loose dirt clods throwing,
barnyard roosters crowing.
Suddenly, it's snowing;
frosty winds now mowing.
Wily smile, all-knowing;
fleetingly, she's going.
Spring . . . such a tease...

Icebergs Melt
Simple words
and deeper meanings
Softer thoughts
and harder leanings
Letters line up
straight and true
But often they bring
something new
Simple words
and deeper meanings
Icebergs melt,
the flow still gleaming
Say it once,
and say it plain
Your heart will roar
—your soul to gain
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2018)...

Haiku On a Glacier At Dawn: Winter Dreaming
Glacial blue dawn;
Slender pink whiskers of warmth
touch frozen ruins
Icebergs sailing by
scatter rubble in their wake;
Sharp winds cleave hard rock
Jagged shards melting
slowly in shallow sunbeams;
Chill pebble strewn pools
Icy continents;
Light glancing on still waters
mirrors frosted skies
Long days and short nights;
Winter rules this citadel
in crisp white mantle...

The Lonely Ones
Fallen through the cracks
Hidden, half alive
Each of us
Pretending to survive
The lonely ones are out there
If you look deep inside
Behind each face, see a trace
Of longing, each belonging
Icebergs unseen below
A story left untold
Pieces to show
Their life to unfold
Everyone has a story
A side you cannot see
Look beyond, look inside
The lonely ones like me...

Amphibious
I never thought this is a tale
I could ever tell
My heart was tossed and turned,
Printed on cards
Some played with it,
My feelings pawns
On a chess board
Till you, my sailor
Said all aboard
Sway, sway
Through icebergs
Till we reached
Where we never thought
We could reach
The beach
You took off your sailor’s hat
Ready to hike
I guess we are amphibious like that...

The Universe Winks
Statues rise and fall
Empires stutter and stall
Genius streaks 'cross the sky
Leaves in its wake more 'Whys?'
Mountains slowly erode
Earth cracks, they implode
The seas advance then recede
A hiss of steam from icebergs freed
The sun grows old, begins to expand
Turns devil-red, scorches the land
A mighty blast proclaims its twilight
The universe winks ~ goodnight...

Her Cradle Rocked upon the Sea
Nobody wants to see me down like I wants to see me up.
—The Unsinkable Molly Brown (Debbie Reynolds as Molly)
Her cradle rocked upon the sea.
Unbreakable was Molly Brown.
Icebergs, she dreamt; the meaning, key.
Her cradle rocked upon the sea.
The lullaby amidst debris.
The infant sleeps, as cries fall down.
Her cradle rocked upon the sea.
Unbreakable was Molly Brown.

I Hack You
I DESIRE AND DREAM
AND EVERY CORNER OF MY HEART
EXPLORES YOUR LONELY WORLD..
I SEE YOUR HIDDEN TEARS
TRANSCENDING MY EYES..
THEY MELT LIKE ICEBERGS.
THIS LIFE IS FUTILE
IF WORDS DON’T REACH ME
AND EVERY MOMENT IS ACCURSED
TIME IS ALWAYS CALLOUS
FOR THOSE WITH A GOLDEN HEART…
BUT MY ARMS WILL REACH YOU
BEFORE THE SUNSET OF MY LIFE..
I HACK YOU IN MY DREAMS FOREVER…...

The Wings of the Wind
We can build walls...
but they all fall...
Thaw seas of icebergs,
but they will freeze again...
but we can never
cut off the wings of the wind!
If man had such power,
there would be no wars...
because they would not exist
humans anymore.... !...

Wings of the Wind
We can lift fortress walls ...
but they all will collapse ...
Undo seas of icebergs,
but they will freeze again ...
But we can never
cut the wings of the wind!
If man had such power,
there would be no wars ...
Because there would not be
more humans anymore.... !...

Black Beauty
Black like a rare diamond.
Perfectly sculpted.
White as a snowy peek .
Reflecting off the glistening waves.
Your beauty and grace challenge us.
Mostly free, we morn for your captured brothers.
Gliding and leaping through the blue.
Chasing your soul mates protecting your tribe.
Your song is herd for miles deep.
Echoing on the icebergs.
You are magnificent, alluring.
Teasing us with your glance.
Swim far Orca be free...

Global Warming Is No Myth
we've seen
signs of it.
global warming
is as real as it gets,
no doubt.
spring-like,
the weather.
in mid-winter;
icebergs of Antarctica
melting.
oceans
keep rising
and permafrost
of the North Pole thawing
yearly.

The Tale of Nelumbo Nucifera
Water-lily,
Floating on the ice-blue sea,
Away from your homeland.
Leaving thin, red, trails as you go.
Steering among the foreign, black-seal-dotted icebergs.
Electric-white lightening flashing,
And the chill of the Arctic winds,
Bombarding from all directions.
As you long for,
The lily-pad life,
Its comfort and kinship,
Now, but a past possession.
I, do, too.
Let us stiffen our lips,
Tighten our collars,
And dream....

account-trees money
the time-river-bank be
lined with account-trees branching...
so the dollar-leaves float
to where they be economically
kneaded as future debt for weaponry...
from an even-easier scrooge
who computer-eyes future
decades of payback that never end till...
the last dollar-plum-met
says those who profit from fighting
are nothing but existent school-yard gangs...
to be sent to fight on melting icebergs
stan sand

Sailing
Sailing upon the sunrise
To another enchanted dawn
There is more to summer
Than merely a lazy yawn
Onwards towards the north end trail
To the glaciers broken mane
Now, pieces to a puzzle
while whales spout in vain
It is there we set our sails
through the icebergs strewn path
Nature tells the tale
Of its noonday wrath
Polar bears on the prowl
To feed their starving cubs
Soon they will be extinct
Before the sun goes down...
