Coldness creeps deep inside
Seeping in, no way to stop
No way to hide.
The pain, the icy freeze
Creeps and seeps
Ruthless in so deep.
Cuts through warmth
Leaving stark cold blind
To any kindness, feeling
Harboured there inside.
Coldness creeps, seeps inside
Freezing all
No where to hide.

We are in a deep freeze
A deep, deep freeze
Cold does not cover what it is
Breath taken away
Frozen in a frigid atmosphere.
Those you hold dear
Should not be out or near
Frozen
Smother instead with warm
Blankets of unfrozen love.
Polar bear cold
Things are froze
No one knows how deep
Or long it will go
Don’t know.
Please no longer than a sleep
Let it creep back up
Let us experience heat
No more deep, deep freeze
Oh please some heat!

A new day, a new beginning
A new begin.
Treasured thoughts of long pass
Sink in
This helps a new beginning
To begin.
Treasure those, treasure lots
Open up, let the new begin
To begin.

May your time on earth
Be full of happiness and gratitude
No sorrow to speak of
Just the loving love we seek
Here on earth my love.

Dreams are dreamed
They’re dreamed at night
Some come true in the morning light.

May your holidays
be merry and
extremely bright.
May all your wishes
come true on this
a blessed night.
Joyeux Noël

You wait and hope
My heart will open
And let you
Back in.
I cannot see how
It will ever be
So much has passed
So much
I can’t let go.
My heart was open
Once to only you
You trudged across
Careless cold.
Now you must
Wait and hope
That is what
You can do.

Saw my heart filled
With love
And yours with such cold
Not caring bold disdain.
I wasn’t told
You’d soon depart
Or how I’d be shattered
Blown apart.
It seems it doesn’t matter
For that’s what you expect
When the heart
Is torn, ripped away.
Not sure why
I didn’t cry or follow
You out the door.
Instead I closed my heart
Denying for a time
That I wished
You would have stayed.
But now I wait and hope
And pray
That you’ll come back
Someday, someday.

I sit inside watching
The goings-on
Going on outside.

As I sit here and think
I know I’ll find my way through this and everyday.
