“winter’s reign”

cold gray
bleeds from a lurid sky
trickling
over boney skeletons of black trees
standing
in murky pools of dead earth
and winter’s reign

howling wind spits snow
gnawing at hard frozen bones
ravenous winter

“cold mountain”
wind driven snow chills
heart-fires warming from within
winter homecoming

*****
“Winter’s Night”
*
snow lies on the ground dimly gleaming
icy fog creeps furtively across the frozen scape
muted moonshine’s frosty glow
gives a pearlescence to night shadows
a cacophonic dirge of silence sounds
for snowbound trees
bowing to a heavy mantle of white
ceding their verdant glory
to the rimy majesty of winter

“frozen”
*
the sky is frozen
so is the wintery air
the snow sticks it to the frozen ground
until it’s hard to breathe
the crystalline atmosphere
claws its way into my lungs
begrudgingly imparting life
to my icy veins
ignoring the gelid stains
the desolation pains
of the cold-black aloneness
that is my frozen heart

August 28, 2010 “snow kisses”
“snow kisses”
snow falls from the grey
blankets the misty mountain
in its frosty cloak
ice-cold hands reaching
across grey water spanning
to escape winter’s chilling
snowflake and river
meld silently when they meet
like lovers’ first kiss
breath hangs as a cloud
between two smiling faces
snowflake and river
