a window to life

Copper face
Codfish leaping 
From your
Plate
Nipping at
The edge of
The sweet
Blue moon
Ascending
Back to
The eternal
Dark wine sea...

A night came by in it’s sweet prime,
My scattered brains nipping at those lights. 
Standing amidst thousand horns,
Yet I feel like a soundless moron....

snow falling softly a sign of winter's warmth

frost nipping ever nose

cheeks cherry red like wine

kids playing furiously

dashing and dancing

snow angels galore...

Painful cracked heel
Wolf nipping at the entrance
Axe waiting to fall.

Whiteness falling whirling white
in the crisp hushed winter's bite.
Nipping flakes light the dark night
that gathers on window pane.
Evening's moon begin to wane,
relaxing by candlelight.

Seagulls saunter the shoreline, nipping at scraps of dead fish

     Hunters and gatherers will soon have more than a bellyful

          Gils choked by the black tar and oiled wings await Gulf sea life...

At times love making is like an avalaunch
But I say it's like a day at the park for a jaunt
Who's this guy kidding
As bits of flesh I'd be nipping
At the slightest glimpse of bits you do flaunt...

Jesus may have been the first
or last human being;
the rest of us following
or reluctantly being rounded up.
A vision of a winding file of us all
entering that Door one by one,
angelic sheepdogs nipping at our heels....

like locusts
swarming innocent crops	
in their prime
we likewise slaughter
our fields of dreams
as well as moral pride—
idle consciousness
impervious to the nipping
of the shoots 
of chosen buds of youth
trounced 
in the fields of our streets....

Comical how the squirrels are frolicking
In the leaves that have covered the ground
At least a dozen of them merrily rollicking
Nipping and chasing each other all around
Their eager playfulness is so astonishing.

Beneath a moonlit black velvet sky
Where scarlet leaves from the Maple fly
On November’s  wind and breathless sighs
And a lone coyote’s distant cry
You and me where hints of winter lie
Frost nipping our toes as autumn dies
I am warmed by the love in your eyes...

Time is relentless,
Crating the future, 
Consuming the Past, 
Only now is,
The space we live in,
Is what we own,
But if only for a short moment,
As we move thought space,
Time is nipping at our heals,
Just as the darkness will find us,
And claim our time and space....

A gentle breeze
Resonates me
At heartstrings,
Sets a quiver
Of emotions,
Quaffs all my 
Grief,
Nipping life
Into me,
Retreads my 
Rambunctious self,

A gentle breeze,
A keepsake,
Is dainty 
And compatible,
Jiggles and
Evokes aspirations,
Exhilarates ,
A zephyr !!...

Drifter, vagabond
On the run from his phantom
Nipping at his heels

Shadow in the night
Slipping through the crevices
Of his own two minds

Past the rolling hills
Splashing ‘cross the black river
Into the new world

Men with winged shoulders
Gliding through the mystic clouds
Mutants rapt in smog...

Thoughts not so quick, as mindful eye
Nipping them in the bud
Desires decry before heart’s sigh
Lest fears stain soul in blood

Double-check, doublethink
Before ego can blink
Love’s indelible ink

Jiu-jitsu trick
Thoughts not so quick

Wind, what’s the rush?
Why the huff,
Why the puff 
Like the wolf
From
The Three Little Pigs,
Muffling my ears 
With “Pfffhhhh…..”,
Nipping my cheek,
Sushing the bird and
Bending that tree into a whistle
Until it shrieks.
Restless, you bluster?....
When you are free to whorl 
The entire world ‘round?...

Small little  Halle, Molly, and Dolly  
full of mischief, puppy collies; 
climbing over each other in their folly. 
Snarling and growling, around in the yard, 
while Reilly the Saint Bernard stands guard. 
Reilly rolls onto its back, as they come hard 
climbing all over, nipping and licking volley.

trees fall down tonight
mornin comes-
residue resides along the sand,
salt air 
a taste so fresh
it burns
crisp frost bite
nipping at my neck
how you would
your gaze penetrates
I look to the sky
asking why
the trees lose their leaves in winter
but keep them in the fall-
the air isn't all that much different
it isn't much different at all...

snow ball icicles 
angel man tunnel igloos
rains turn white droplets

snowy fluffy powder
pearls ivory frosty flakes 
artists white canvas 

cold frozen chairs
frigid chilled air nipping ears
hockey fans warm cheer

snow sums summits
cold air vapors fog mist
below zero temps

ice frost windowsill
snowy ivory chalk mounds
cast blank white canvas...
