Describe for me, the winter meadow.
The one we dreamt of
whilst the darkness sang
half remembered songs to us
as we waited for morning.
Do it before the sunlight
dissolves the dawning
and the bedsprings creak
drags the brain to reality.
For hidden by the night
in three dimensional hallucinations
I touched your hand
while we walked the meadow,
and learnt that a heart
if you listen to it
is able to love forever
and distant dreams,
are not too far away to reach.

Listening to every heart

Excerpt from, The Pond

"To reach the pond you must go over two
swells of elevated native country,
not hills, just swells,
enough to lift you high at the top to see
360 degrees,
and view the Smoky Hills.
Indian country. Virgin land.
Just you and me.
Once at the pond, we can slide rocks over the
frozen waters, and test the ice with our boots,
give it more weight,
hear a cracking and step back.
Not cold enough to slide across
fear holds us back, we’ve
never known how really deep the pond
and don’t want to find out now.

Wait a moment."

Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises...

Wintry Meadow

Wintry meadow void of propane
Crowded with frozen chocolates
Standing watch like horizontal talons
Color falls asleep
Wind screams enveloping sound
bitter cold biting flesh...
Tumbling art work lace, the ground
White covered wheat stands with the moon
Frozen like diamonds midnight porch
January Garden chores
Quote frost armies
Colorless sky of a world forlorn
Keeping time with a profit…blooming
Blight covers like a winter silence

Winter is not my friend...hehehe

Loved your poem
