Quiet MasterpieceA merciless rhythm haunts him
in the chill, indigo night
thrilling scales move restlessly
inside his tormented mind
aching to be released.
He stares outside the rippled windowpane
vacuous trees are scattered shivering
lifeless...

Fashionable Fall
Fashionable Fall flaunts her lustrous leaves,
catwalks flowing flora with earnest ease.
Haunting lullabies from the quaking trees
cast chilling currents from mountain to keys.
Dancing diamonds of glistening glow
show skies with promise of soon-to-be snow.
Sunrises and sunsets are...

Skater on Moonlightskater on moonlight
wearing diamonds, pearls in hair
fun in frosty air
moonbeams for sunbeams
darkly calm on frozen lake
glide softly as dreams
skater of starlight
feeling joy that comes from peace
hues stained black and white...

THIS WHAT WINTER BRINGSThis is what winter brings.
Depressions vines climbing its way back across the mind.
Fleetingly vamping across acres of its inner shell.
Cutting all the warmth that was once held within.
Freezing to the inner core.
A stillness spreading sadness,
An...

The LichAs the rain trickles down the cracks of my stained oak casket
And it stains the fabric of my tattered shirt with the crimson paint they placed upon my lips
The shifting of dirt can...

Frost
Freezing conditions, the ground’s now icy white,
Roads may be slippery, so take care on that hill.
Oh look, Jack Frost came to visit us last night,
Seeing feathery ice patterns gives me such a thrill,
That drop in...

winter into spring
monochrome takes on color ~
summer hastens in
spring into summer
fading from green to yellow ~
frenzied fruitful fall
summer into fall
royal gems explode in trees ~
white winter enters

The Last LeafThe leaves begin to change their hue and fall,
The tree's look like skeletons all spindly and tall.
We run through the piled leaves, kicking them up like a cloud,
The chidren all excited yelling out so loud.

Autumnal
All blazing hues throwing ochery golden gowns
Under azure blues with fluffy cotton wool clouds
Temperatures in dip feeling two seasons in meld
Undulations shape shift teasing ones naked eye
Momentary captures seeing wildlife amidst such
Natures many blooms rich...

SoIs that the same habitual pain
The one I didn’t expect
To reappear once again
Like fume of menthol cigarette
I smoked ten thousand days ago
When snow was blooming lily-white
And withered leaves were whirling slow
Across the dimmed...

______________________________________________________________
In the misty, morbid moors of winter mantle,
Meadows lay barren in gray shades and prattle.
Skies, akin to canvas, drawn with grief and woe,
Skylarks seek shelter as spartan spurs stow.
Wind whispers weakly, a...

Winter's Bench MarkA park bench sits empty
Dawn dew dappled
An unseen shiver
Envious of the shaking dog
Senses a loneliness
Hinted at by Winter’s chill

Heads down, breath steaming
The squirrels will no longer come
Nor the pigeons
Cold winds will scourge...

Ward 6I am certain that I am unwell.
A swelling golf ball
Lodged deep beneath my skin
Makes sure of that.
The floors of Ward 6
Are mirror-clean and sterile,
A nature-coloured chessboard for
My bare toes to quietly tread.
I have no flowers,...

Iselder YsbrydSo to the waterfront I go,
Heart heavy with the weight of feeling alone,
And there's all Mcculloch & crew can do, I find,
To settle my soul, to ease my mind.
The world is at peace but...
