From the window of white frost and snow
Jack Frost was here freezing my little soul
Saint Nicholas close in toe stealing gifts
Only the naughty were touched cold

I thought so different I shall be
Belittled and battered – rage adult hands
In the dawn sorrow filled my heart – woke screaming
In the winter’s silver realm they fought long

From the thundering cups to smashing hands
Thumped the walls and screams of her
No good was the off spring just burden to all
Mummy where is autumn’s golden sun?
Daddy where has the summer sun gone?
Shaking the bed holding and all I loved – a demon bear
Wet was the bear – silent fearful tears
Safe he whispered sleep upon my cold heart

~ The dark angel loves you follow the blue stars ~

overnight Jack Frost
visited our small township
he left a white coat

Jack Frost nibbles on my ears, on my fingers, on my nose
I sheepishly cover what I can except my nose.
He gets angry, cold even, and resorts to chewing and gnawing what's exposed.

I can't keep on with him trying to harm me. I must hide.
There is a room to which I walk in so I can hide.
But Jack the stealthy being seep through the cracks, made it inside.

There is no where to run.

He creeps closer, closer still and as his presence becomes more evident my body beings to shake.
But not in fear, for I have no fear of Mr.Frost, but because he has that effect on everybody.
His mere presence can induce anybody's body to shiver in his wake.
He makes you want to cover yourself with the clothes on your back to protect yourself from his bitter iciness.

That is  Jack Frost's job.

I thought of you with love today
Only wishing for one more day.

Your battle is now over, your pain has finally come to an end
You were not just my daddy you were my friend.

It broke my heart to say good bye, but you did not go alone
A part of me went with you the day God took you home.

I hate the fact you have gone away
In my heart is where you will stay.

If I could write a story it would be the greatest one told
My loving father with a heart of gold.

I'm not going to say good bye for we will see each other again
In closing this poem I would like to say amen.

Love never fails
That's the saying
But I think
They need to change it
To love always fails
I quit
I'll never make the mistake
Of falling in love again
Because when she left
Well let's just say
I can't wait
Till I get the key
To my gun case back
Because when I do
Everyone will see
How much I hurt
Never fall in love again
I won't
It hurts to much
