Day 71 - Malicious Path

Malicious Path

I am lasting out in this unreasonable heat

The final moments of the season you will not cheat

I will divide you from what should be

I am the last bit that you will see

Of the expanse that once drenched everything

The lonely tiredness before being blasted with spring

There is meaning in what I alone can be

The hint of a malicious calamity

That soaks your world in total black

Swerving down the cold and narrow track

That the shadows hide so well

The entrance to your own personal hell

That hides within the growing boredom

That is the remains of a ruined kingdom

Oh yes I still wait to sabotage you

Will you manage to make it through?

Day 52 - Frozen Hopes

Frozen Hopes

You drenched the sweet girl that day

In candy-coated compliments

She wept with a quiet "thank you" to say

And dwelled on such short moments

But now you leave her all alone

And she ices over cold as stone

The beauty that once colored her face

Has torn away to other lands

She is frozen in the same wretched place

Giving in to your cruel demands

She spends her days quieter by and by

Until she cannot even see the gray sky

She has darkened under that white

Now hardier than she was before

Better to make it through the night

Readying herself for what may be in store

Hoping she will discover one final spring day

Showing you did mean all that you used to say

Day 37 - Winter or Summer?

Winter or Summer?

You can see little beyond this sight

Ground and air all swirling with the white

That transforms the world into quietness

Of the hustle and bustle there is much less

Each branch with snow it has come accustomed to holding

The sun is taken away to some far off corner for scolding

By Mother Nature who insists loudly

"Now is the season for snow to stay," proudly

Yet far from this all powerful decree

The sun still shines oh so brightly

There Mother Nature has declared it just right

For a breathtaking, hot summer night

Can you imagine a February of intense heat,

Flowers in full bloom smelling so sweet?

That is the way they find it each year

In places that are far away from here

So when you feel chills down to the bone

Remember somewhere there is another tone

There amidst the air is swirling warm light

With little to see beyond that sight

Day 28 - Cold Yet Not to the Core

Cold Yet Not to the Core

Warm shadows and sun shine through

But it is colder than you ever knew

There sits a charade, ice posing as glass

Waiting for the final moment to pass

Then ice can grow into a mighty raging river

Cold and willing to call on every forgiver

Even in times when the message is false

It disregards all voices with a pulse

But that is only what you see on the surface

The core of the matter you swiftly dismiss

For it is colored the same shade all the way through

But that is not the only reality that is true

Ice can reflect out the brightest of light

Or keep you shivering into the night

Leaving that door so slightly ajar

Has already gotten you this far

Next time manage to hide your own disaster

Do not come and attack my forever after
