Everywhere

.

Another observation. 

. 

Everywhere        -         12 Dec 22

Cold everywhere 

They have said 

With snow and ice 

Here just some ice 

People have to watch 

Where they put their feet 

. 

I am staying home. 

. 

Winter

.

Solstice has passed but I do not feel Summer yet. 

. 

Winter       -       25 Jun 22

Winter seems so far away 

Even though Summer is 

Here but 

So cold

Unwelcoming in its

Grasp 

Waiting for the warmth 

Promised but never felt 

Tears turn to ice 

. 

I cannot remember a June this cool. 

. 

Dark

.

Sweaters are not enough. 

. 

Dark       -       22 Oct 21 

Not just the night 

Not just the time of year

Now the sun is hidden 

Behind thick cloud blankets

It is cold as well 

The world is dark 

Shivering 

. 

Global warming?   Not here.

. 

Winter Cloak

.

This feels like a cooler spring than usual. 

.

Winter Cloak      -      19 May 21

Rain still holds the need

Dark cold 

Winter cloak kept

In use 

For yet another day

.

I want a change in the weather. 

. 

Summer Now

.

A request, perhaps a demand. 

. 

Summer Now      -      02 Mar 21

A mental demand 

Tired of being cold 

Want the warmth 

Of summer now 

. 

Want to be able to open the window to get some fresh air into my room. 

. 

Rain In The Night [Haiku]

.

Thoughts on what I can hear. 

. 

Rain In The Night [Haiku]      -     02 Dec 20

Footsteps on the glass 

Announce the arrival of 

Cold rain in the night 

. 

The sound is chilling. 

. 

Lantern Moon [Haiku]

.

Expectations, shown in the first Haiku of the year. 

. 

Lantern Moon [Haiku]     -    10 Jan 20

In the cold and dark 

I wait for the lantern Moon 

She does not appear 

. 

Cloudy that night. 

. 

Owl Whispers

.

Heard but not seen, a whisper in the dusk. 

. 

Owl Whispers     -     29 Nov 19 

Secret places hidden in the Heart 

Sharing the moment of moonrise 

Owls whisper a song of sleep 

As the wind leads the sun 

Into the cold sky 

One owl whispers the spell 

To carry us all 

. 

I find owlsong fascinating. 

. 

Winter Thoughts

.

The cold season is only just beginning. 

. 

Winter Thoughts    -    07 Nov 19 

Days short 

Nights long and cold 

Chill thoughts 

Hold winter in mind 

Dreaming of the distant 

Spring warmth 

. 

Days are not long enough for the sun to warm them. 

. 

Wishing

.
Thoughts in the wind.

.
Wishing     -    02 May 19

Waiting
In a cold afternoon
Wind drags my body
Trying to reposition me
Wishing I was not here
Wishing I was with you
Wishing

.
Main reason for being somewhere else, with that one special person.

.

Ice

.
An observation and a question.

.
Ice   -   26 Oct 18

Captive bergs
Floating freely
In the water bottles
In my refrigerator

Is it really
That cold

.
A second question, has this ever happened to you?

.

Winter Returns

An observation of the changes in weather conditions.





Winter Returns  -  17 Mar 18

White dog

Wants to play

Too cold outside

In the sky snow

Dances in time

With the phantom dog

Winter returns

For a while

At least the snow has gone ~ for now.

Curtain Drawn

Snowing and very cold





Curtain Drawn  -  26 Feb 18

In the dark of night

I hear the wind

Calling the Spirit of winter

To sing a song of cold

I close the curtain

Drawn against the night

I await the dawn

Daylight brings no change.

Broken Days

An observation of what the days are like.





Broken Days  -  22 Feb 18

Dark and light

Randomly interchange

Cold joins them together

Icy binding

Holding the broken days

Together in a frozen grip

Days have been like that here recently.

Trembling

A curious little Love song.





Trembling  -  09 Feb 18

Cold

Or perhaps you

Have something to do with it

Contradiction

The warmth you send

Counteracts the cold

I am trembling

With your energies

Other people can have this kind of effect.

Evening

One of those statements, the days are growing colder.





Evening  -  25 Oct 17

Chill air after a cool day

Cloak drawn close

To fend off the edge

As the last touch

Of sunlight fades

Cold evening surrounds

I walk into the night

The nights are getting darker and I need a good cloak.

Breath

A little exploration of sensuous things.





Breath  -  27 May 17

Cold air meets warm skin

Warm breath caresses

Cool skin

Exchange of pleasures

Feel the breath.

Waiting For Changes

One of the signs of autumn, change creeps across the land.





Waiting For Changes  -  27 Aug 16

The winds have shifted

Cold edge to the air

As the old moves

To protect its existence

In the moment of movement

Change can be seen forming

Now we wait

For the Transformation

We change too.

Closing

That time of year again when autumn starts to merge into winter.





Closing  -  24 Oct 15

Feeling the change
Winds growing colder
The year winding down
Dark earlier in the day
Window closed
Against the night
Also against the cold
Of the day





Everything is little darker and colder.

Wind Whip

A weather related observation.





Wind Whip  -  06 Dec 14

Wind whirls around
Trees dance
Whip
Restless movements
Rattle the door
Shake the windows
Fingertips chilled
The wind still sings
A mournful song
Cold day





I can still feel the wind.
