cold breeze
the ticking heat off a parked car
has summer resigned ?

Your skin is mist,
like cold before a storm,
to the touch

Palms are hydroplaning
an essence of something
that's about to change
@DamonRobPoetry on insta! :)
we were
standing
outside
in the cold
but couldn't
feel a thing
ok okay Jun 2023
Some days appear troubled
It may feel as if it always rains

I know you love the sunny days
It makes you feel warm inside
However
On the worst of days
I will always be by your side

Troubled days come and go
Same with weeks and months
It will get better
And peace will come
For that
I surely know

Winter too
Will not be forever
The cold will wane away

Some day
Maybe not too far away
The sun will shine again
I know when to be persistent,
I know when to stop trying.
I'll quit my "*******,"
Stop my "crying."

As comes the night
And the stars shine
We sit in our balcony
And switch on the fairy lights.
We talk all night long
And maybe banter in between,
A smile playing on our lips
Never seeming to disappear
Yet remaining unseen.
It's relatively cold
But we don't feel the chill,
Because our hearts are warm
And our eyes so bright,
That would dim even the moonlight.

the cold winter bite
i am tracking the prey close

I’ve always loved
The brutal honesty
That comes with winter.
It is, finally, every part of
Creation laid bare.
The trees become black silhouettes
Against a grey sky,
The sky is granted permission
To release all of its fury,
And members of mankind
Are brought face to face
With one another
As they try to hide
From the cold winter winds.
Even in its cruelty,
Winter drives us together,
And that, in this world,
Is a kindness.

The cold air hits my lungs,
as the animal in my body
takes ragged breaths
exhaling
vapor and fear
inhaling
a familiar stench.

The night smells like metal,
with the sun now eroding
the starry sky.

There is no time to think of how I got here.
A corroding metal bar swinging in the air
just missing
my head.

Don't make my love in a factory on a cold assembly line
cutting all the corners of my heart just to rush it out on time

Don't sell my love in a fancy store dressed up in the front display
bought and sold and taken home, and in boredom packed away

Don't cast my love on a tv show as violence, fame, or food,
worth nothing more than the ratings brought that decide if it'll be renewed

Instead

Make it under the sun, let the wildlife play and see
let it touch the thoughts of calm the earth has ever dreamed
work through the night, so it can meet the dark
and learn that life is more than a single work of art
The love the world sells isn't often sweet
