night closing in on mountain
cold is seeping into bone...

Dewlike tears fall softly,
Sensing my need for letting go, 
Allowing the feelings to gently flow.

to the tapping claws of am exposed sky.

You sit sideways staring over your shoulder.
A rib cage full of naked troglodytes
looks up into your throat.

Winter

Winter’s silent soul
Kisses away the darkness
With trembling flakes, snow feathers
Cardinals whisper
Blessing the breathless prayers
From hearts who feel love’s inklings

Marionette

...A marionette to the mind,
Whispering fading schematics,
Deluging the heart and soul, in a 
Juxtaposition of good and evil,

Above its embedded body
Deep in  its shroud of snow
