WD 41 “Chain Links”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth Chain Links Chain linked, tied together, wrapped and knotted in serpentine strands of metal.

WD 32 “Romeo”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth Romeo I scorn you Dressed in my best and all the evening stars I turn you away like I’m turning from the straight and narrow path that leads to destruction My heaving bones rattling like fists cracked against the crucible of rabbid dogma Raising Alighting LightingContinue reading “WD 32 “Romeo””
WD 31 “Snow Queen”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth Snow Queen As there are No more reminders of The things that made you whole I will project myself in the snowfall Crowned in the dust Ashes heaped and Cradled Like a bride, never to be- I spread my limbs out in the snow and hopeContinue reading “WD 31 “Snow Queen””
WD 29 “Yin and Yang”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth Yin and Yang A span and half a span The universes of darkness between two gas giants I am simmering with constant heat but you are a two silences and an explosion Defying, deifying Some days the stars wash the daylight away from my eyes andContinue reading “WD 29 “Yin and Yang””
