This Newest Cold Front

This newest cold front

The worst so far

Makes your teeth chatter an' clatter

Which gets on my nerves

It freezes your pipes and makes you stutter

Also

I rub my palms for warmth but

Our loins remain cold as a vacuum

I can see my breath

When you enter the room

The cold front comes from

Within

Without any forecast warning

And we are left having any sparks of warmth remaining

Between us

Snuffed out

The Wars of Words and Sly Manipulations

The wars of words and sly

Manipulations

Malfeasance

Between us

Could heat the house all winter

Maledictions too

Uttered from your beautiful mouth

These things all bind us in love and hate

Two emotions so seemingly apart

Yet kindred

Conjoined twins of the shining bright

And impenetrable dark

On your hourglass figure

My mind can linger

The sharp cut intelligence of your mind

Too, which binds

We bite and scratch with

Increasing passions

Our breaths and hearts get caught up in all

The wars of words and sly

Manipulations

Dancing in the Driving Rain

Broken dreams

Broken hearts

I chief breaker

Headliner

Disdainer

Hearts beat pulse

Sweat pours clear

Bruised and broken

Sins and an unforgiver

Silent tears

Mingle with sweat

The rain hides all

Chief breaker

Transgressor

Dismantler

I

Rueful grin

However

Unimpressed

Also

Dancing in the driving rain

Alone

Life is grand
