(haiku x 5)

Sharp teeth of winter
Punctured flesh, body, and soul,
Statues squeezed amongst

Cold doves, deer...standing
In an iced menagerie,
Crystalled, unmoving.

Eyes, mind.....blazed, like sun,
Thawing stilled life...frozen love,
Til pulse IS revived,

Til warm mem'ries roll
Til warm blood, through my veins flow
Til warm teardrops.....fall.

And I...must now leave.
This stolid, indiff'rent stage,
I can stand no more.

This  night is very different.
It is young
The moon is out there...in full view,
But it's like there is no moon,
It is dull, it doesn't glow,
Looks like a paper moon.

An empty corner meets my eyes.
Window is closed...door is ajar,
Posts...ceilings...walls...all are naked,
White...unmoving...lifeless.

I sigh,
But, a sigh is just a sigh,
Not encouraging in this piercing cold,
I find no help offered.

...just a plate to my left---with stuff..

I take a sip,
A *******, I dip...
Maybe, I could bite a tip
Or...a drip
From the dip,
Again, more sips...
This time, no more dips...

Mind is now deeply dipped,
W a i t i n g...with the hands
F l e x i n g.....ah, I'm
T r y i n g...to capture them now,
Stop these kites from flying
Away, out of my brain, fleeing...
This moment......I now seize,
Will stretch it to long hours, into a night of bliss,
My hot, strong, bitter drink always helps me clear the way,
The boulder, is now fragmented...crushed,
Pushed further away, to flow towards a lazy, lethargic river.  

It matters not to me,
Could be a poem or a ditty
This is a supernal moment
When ideas so potent
Like tap water, flows with no end.

This is one of those nights
When I would fall, then rise again, and take flight
Reviving inspirations to a glowing height
One moment I can't let go...I am in a JAVA JIBE
Oh, I've never been so A L I V E !

Always thought
loneliness
was something one
felt when alone
in life

But...

Sometimes
that loneliness
is felt even
when you have a partner

All
the more devastating
as loneliness
should have been held
at bay

No longer
safe as
Loneliness slowly creeps in

The connections we have
******* I feel them in my bones
More than the spirits that haunt this house
Like the ghosts of Christmas.

I heard the voices last night
Saying I can do better
And you on the phone pushing me through
Yeah, I'll love you forever.
