Winter's Solstice
(A lone voice whispers) Will you Come all Yes, Yea and dance For In the deepest woods In that old Woodland grove Something stirs An electric emotion Consuming the very air Can you feel Its pulse And all consuming Power Would you attend as An invited guest With me And dance Go wild And let your mind and soul Be held prisoner As they are Slowly deflowered Beyond all worldly Fears As unknown spirits advance Would you still attend As a guest of mine To...

Winter Is here, Fear washed away my sorrow with desperation and opportunism, Now I wait for winter, For I will meet the woman of my dreams in winter, Torrid freezing, Will throw her into my arms, Winter is here, Fear washed away my manhood with white supremacy, I’m dreaming of a white woman, To wash away all of my sorrow, I am desperate and opportunistic, Winter...

Premium Member Winter Solstice and Musings On The Entropy of Love
Unable to sleep or pray, I stand by the window looking out— at moonstruck trees a December storm has bowed with ice. White Oaks and Maples concede beneath the crystalline weight, their branches falling brittle upon a frozen tableau of memory. Love—that old revolutionary road, veers sideways toward scrutiny; ...

Radiant crystals illuminate thee, nocturnal mistress in the wan dawn light where darkness drapes skies Requiem aeternam bright halo, lies heaven’s portal Winters wispy cirrus refracting ring circling Mohawkin bespeaks of a Christmas cold moon …December’s icy grip ...

Premium Member Winter Solstice Lament
I am sunk deep in the dark of this day, peer out of a hollow that holds the tribe's history drawn in ochre on a rock wall. Outside is a numb, frozen world that yields little food. Animals are scarce and I am kept alive by stealth and making most of the meager offerings that fall to my spear. I hate being here, imprisoned in a poem,...

Winter is when life put on hold. Winter is when not hot but cold. Winter is snow falling on hills. Winter is reservoir refills. Winter is when animals hibernate. Winter is when people by the fire wait. Winter is when temperature drops. Winter is when everything stops. Winter is when harsh winds do blow. ...

Groundhog day 2024 or Forty one days since 2023 Winter Solstice
Groundhog day 2024 or Forty one days since 2023 Winter Solstice Rather than be a day late and dollar short, I opted to post poem acknowledging the second of February, where eponymous groundhog gets his (most often male) foretelling whether there will be six more weeks of winter upon oblate spheroid generating hoopla whether spring will arrive early and satiate those folks who...

("Winter's Edge", 2018, original encaustic) Darkness Darkness darkness be the pillow That pulls me in and holds me down When all around the light had faded And nowhere within it can be found Somewhere some one is now crying Out for love or something near While in silence the dark is calling A soothing sound but void of cheer As I...
