The freeze is coming
Soon will river ice over
You below the ice
Soon will river ice over
You below the ice
The freeze is coming
Soon will river ice over
You below the ice
Soon will river ice over
You below the ice

Ice ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #261
His was a visage of ice
Cold, chiseled
A frosty burn to the touch
Which not even the fire
Of his desire
Could melt
It protected him
It destroyed him
It hardened him
It betrayed him
For anyone could see
Just below the surface
The heat his coldness
Would never emit
His was a visage of ice
Cold, chiseled
A frosty burn to the touch
Which not even the fire
Of his desire
Could melt
It protected him
It destroyed him
It hardened him
It betrayed him
For anyone could see
Just below the surface
The heat his coldness
Would never emit
Future ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #260
Hither I leave
This valley of death
And I will fear no future
This valley of death
And I will fear no future
For I bear not the past
Carry only hope, and my staff
Tenacity
Hope ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #259
I remember a day
When our star burned
Bright and hot
In the cold, crisp air
When our star burned
Bright and hot
In the cold, crisp air
Delightful frolics
When the clouds softened
Saw blade peaks
Rather than coat the sky
In remorseful grey
Like Today
I remember a better day
And another to come
A future memory known not by
Prescience nor forecast
Only, hope
Beauty ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #258
There is beauty
In all things
Even death
In all things
Even death
To understand this
Is to master life
To master life
One must master death
Solitude ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #257
crisp
cold
wind
cold
wind
sun falls
like a poet’s first words
illumination lacking warmth
so I shiver
wrapped in a blanket of silence
broken only by the wind
bending the tall grass
rapt in a solitude
broken only by gulls on the wing
bending the air to their whim
Touching ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #256
In that blur
Of existence
Of existence
When space becomes time
And time becomes space
When love becomes all possibility
And possibility infinite
And time timeless
I will find you
And always will
Because this is the thing
Between you and I
The connection without reason
The being without purpose
Except that we are always
Together
Whether far apart
Or side-by-side
Decades may pass
Without a touch
Though we are always
Touching
In the end
That is all we need know
About the unknowable
Warmth ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #255
Sometimes I run cold
It’s hard to find
The love inside
It’s hard to find
The love inside
For me
For you
For anyone
For anything
Then you hold me
Look into my eyes
Show me what love is
You wear your heart
With just a look
So that anyone can see
Even me
In the cold dark blue
Warming to the warmth of you
Nightmares ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #254
Deep in a dream
I see the ghost
Of who I once was
And the ghost
Of who I hoped to be
I see the ghost
Of who I once was
And the ghost
Of who I hoped to be
I awaken
To the phantom
That is who I have become
Bread ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #253
Observe the beauty of a loaf
The tortured rending of gluten
As the dough expands under heat
The tortured rending of gluten
As the dough expands under heat
Observe the beauty of a woman
The tortured rending of ego
As the gaze exploits under heat
