Short Snow Blind Poems

Ever watchful,
the third man 
and we knew
there was one
that
always followed on
behind

snow blind,
but able to see
the future paths
laid out for me....

Snow blind, 
     in a snow storm. 
Some just don't know.. 
     winters sailor be warned ! 
South winds and east winds adjour, 
     stuck here all winter nice and warm....

Structure comes 
  from the classroom

Imagery comes
  from experience

And it’s hard 
  to structure

What you can’t 
  —see

Movies at midnight and musical drifts
    I am snow blind and mesmerized in it all.
Sheer delight in the stardust moment,
    Transient though it is.
It banishes everything in wonder....

After the 
elective execution, 
you reach at the 
end of nowhere.

A wayward 
cloud stands alone 
under the plump moon.

It is absolutely? 
white, like the 
wings of a swan.

Beneath the earth 
you want to dig out 
the remains of dark hoods.

Gale-force winds 
promise to make you 
snow-blind.

I wear love like a birthmark, 
With pride on my breast, 
This dance until dawn, 
Bids it sweat and salsa, 
Silently sway, 
Then delirium scream. 

Dancing till dawn with 
All the people I love, 
Avalanches my heart, 
Carries me away 
On wings of snow-blind doves 
In perfectly framed abandon. 

Dancing till dawn with 
All the people I love; 
I would tender my soul 
For this timeless instant 
To chain the end 
at bay....

close the door
turn the heat up high
you'll still be cold
it's minus thirty-five 

the wind is blowing
the snows up to the knee
put on your coat
your still going to freeze 

the snows is falling
it hard to breathe
we call it a blizzard
it's getting hard to see

in the morning
you can see your breath
grab your shovel to
clean mother natures gift

a clean sheet of white
reflecting the midday's sun
as you step inside 
you realize your...

snow blind...
