Skidding on thin ice
In dark streets

Surrounded by
Cold structures, breathing
Festering vagrants ... vagabonds...

Your verses brighten up my day
As walking on thin ice in May.
Hypertrophic sarcasm's not dead -
It's in your head....

Thin ice cracks
Carefully you tread
Tiptoe in silence
Holding inhaled breath
Fear heavy footsteps
Breaking through thin ice....

reaching thin ice, a fatal mistake.

Slips tongue
Rolls.
Hot water
On thin ice
Trailing Pattern
Evaporating
Marbling air
The ethereal
Blest Breath
Condensing
Misty windows...

Pitter   Patter a
Matter of Splatter as
Spirits covet caress thin ice
"Straw sir"?
"Just a finger stir", is
Every bit as nice

A Year of Happy News!...

like the stars, were shining,
like planets, were spinning
on the thin ice, were sliding 
over the pink clouds, were flying 
but these days  
like atomic bombs,

              a break in the clouds...in a birdbath, moonlight skates on thin ice

Listen to poem:

Brain freeze
Cool breeze
Numb hands
White trees

Winter vibe
Outside
Summer hearts
Death slide

Super cool 
Plunge pool
Thin ice
Skating fool

Split whole
No  control
Broken hearted
Lost soul...

My tears fall like
freezing rain
dripping from barren
branches overhead,
dampening my smile,
replacing the sunrise
with clouded sorrow
as your heart breaks
like thin ice
in the winter
of your sadness-...

Scratch the surface
like a skaters blade
dancing and gliding
graceful in the movement
of which
alters
the perfection
of smooth untouched coldness
to find 
icy particles
crushed together.
Allow it to melt once again....

do me Right
end it tonight
walk(CRACK IT) the thin ice
but don't make it nice
Chill my soul
it lost control
Home to the G

lost Life's F---kin Game
just a Poor old white Dope
Who can't cut it anywayNOPE!!...

A DELICATE MAN

insidiously she claims
her ‘right’ of passage
stepping on stones of
thin ice she aims and
stakes sharp daggers
of spiteful hate that
permeate stabbing
a dark hearted
delicate man

Words lunged from deep within
Buried in thin ice like treasures
Raging through stormy pages
Of unopened books lost in time
Enveloped in tiny thousand thoughts
Floating past speedy light-years 
Which when discovered in age
Conjures the dawn of a new era...

Thin ice forgives the cold
Slowly relents its hold
As ripples shake its grasp
A shimmering of diamonds pass
A gentle sunny warmth
Mists dancing in the swamp
Spring sun will claim the day
Nothing cold can stay

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.....

"Not tonight, dear, I've got a headache;"
previous night she claimed a different ache.
Everything with wife once nice,
now hubby skates on thin ice.
Looks like they're headed for a clean break.

Roadways and divided highways and destinations to encounter unexpectedly  treading on thin ice. Headed
Into a dead-end  no outlet  to take unconsciously. 
Directions were given were very diminutive  and insecurities 
entered to forms  judgments of self doubt and vulnerability visited....
