Winter During the Winter, Snow lay all around, On the roofs, the trees, the ground. The way I feel and enjoy myself, The taste of snowflakes on my tongue, Watching old people makes me glad to be young, I sled and make snow-angels, I am all bundled up and all nice and warm, Until supper where we have cocoa, stew, and corn. Then I go out again, Forgot some warm stuff..... counting alot, I'm so sick, Acccchhhhooooo! A bad cold I've got. I'm sick....... : ( I'm ill, The doctor says I need to take pills. A few weeks later, Happy as can be, Now there's no illness inside of me. During the Winter, Snow lay all around, On the roofs, the trees, and on the ground. Karen S. ©1998Winter's Kiss Look about you, my friends all Bundled tight and backs to the wind Sky so low and gray Reach up a gloved hand Try and touch it Walking in a world of cold Turn a corner Suddenly the wind hits your face Feel the force of winter's kiss Coldest fingers do caress Any skin beneath the tiniest chink Shiver and shake it off Then smile at the thinnest sunbeam Find joy in these shortest days Taste that first snowflake on your tongue And laugh Kevin Earl Lynch ©1998
Untitled Snow angels, snowmen, snowballs and such, Red noses, wet mittens, we were so young! I don't recall feeling the cold too much, With the taste of snowflakes on my tongue. Hot cocoa when when ran back inside, Impatient to go play some more. Behind the snowfort we'd run and hide, To pelt the other team in war. Sledding down the steepest hills, We held on to the sled so tight. Laughing as we took our spills, We must have been a sight silliangel ©1998 November
The Taste Of Snowflakes On My Tongue The taste of snowflakes on my tongue Oh, those memories of when I was young Singing the carols and having some fun The taste of snowflakes on my tongue From snowballs and snow fights Oh, to be young The taste of snowflakes on my tongue Christmas around the corner So much to be done Decorations a plenty have to be hung Baking those cookies, oh, what fun Get in the spirit, join the fun Taste the snowflakes on your tongue Max Zayas ©1998 November 6
three little words slipped out of my mouth "i love you" three silly little words i now regret saying a concept i struggle with thought "love could not be a bad thing" but the metallic taste in my mouth belies the truth rest my chin on my knees as i sit on my porch hear the birds warbling smell the fresh cut grass watch others stroll hand in hand a quick peck on the cheek impetuous hugs stifle the longing in my heart an elusive thing the touch of a man i am an innocent in ways of the heart think others feel what i do look at the nameless faces driving by if they knew me could they love me ill never know my heart raked over the coals drenched in the truth that he doesnt love me the smile that lied wanted more than simply me shame and guilt rise up in me how could i be so blind i seek warmth but dont find it i yearn to touch to be held but have been burnt by love's deadly embers Sherry Gilles ©1998 November 7LOVES BURNING EMBERS Loves burning embers embrace and caress My heart as it travels endlessly onward Down the rocky road of truth and passion As I gaze on upon the seamless shroud of Light that blankets the night sky I see The heart of mine-she who is and always will be The soul tearing scars which have healed over time Are silently opened again, Free to wreak havoc on the mind Of this lonely and tired traveler Slab ©1998 November 30
Love's Deadly Embers I whisper your name And hope the wind Carries to you My words For the distance Between us is great Yet i feel the north wind Carry my words On its strong currents It is difficult to tell Over the pounding of my heart Do you reply Or is it just the simple Whisper of the wind Like sparks from a flame In a tinder dry house My love flames to passion Love's deadly embers Have been sparked Yet filled with uncertainty Will this be a season of cold hearts In a chaos of conflicting emotions Yet finding joy at every turn I await your reply.

Untitled I gave you all I had to give. You gave nothing in return. You made my life a hell to live, Love's deadly embers burn. Bitter, sorry for what's been done, I've cried an ocean of tears. Now, my heart welcomes the sun, As I forget the stormy years. Incessant ringing of the phone, Memories I don't want to find. Can't you just leave me alone, While I try to heal this mind? silliangel ©1998 November
Untitled Love's deadly embers Have burned my soul Torn assunder What once was whole The pain consumes me I cannot bear My heart is now beyond repair Too many times have i been burned Love's deadly embers have All my hopes consumed Max Zayas ©1998 November 6
Misery (unfinished work) Loves deadly embers burn hot in my soul my heart has beed charred by love's bitter flame I run from the house to flee from my pain fall to the ground calling your name I peer to the sky the snow starts to fall my eyes wide,wide open taste of snowflakes on my tongue My eyes shed tears memories they come the life that we had songs that we sung What will I do how can I live My mind a endless cavern My heart a darkened cave To live now, meaningless without you forever near our home now a casket my life but a grave Dragonlore ©1998 NovemberUntitled We spent our time together Planning the future and our lives Giving each other hope and love. Then one day you were gone Love's deadly embers Sparking my anger Burning so hot. But I have decided I can go on The taste of snowflakes on my tongue Has cooled my anger It has given me hope Knowing a new year will soon bring hope And fresh dreams. Max Zayas © 1998 November 8
Untitled The aching bleeding heart remembers Your unwanted gift of love's deadly embers But a deeper part that was not stung Laughs at the taste of snowflakes on my tongue You took my laughter for a little while You knew no joy brought from a smile Now I am free, you are no more I paint and write, and you? I ignore! All I loved, you wished me to put aside My thoughts put on hold, but never died I suffer this deprivation no longer My love of arts grows ever stronger. I look at what I allowed you to do, I think "To thine own self be true" Never more will I put my true self away Not for a minute, hour, nor for a day. silliangel ©1998 November
Snowflakes Snowflakes on my pillow. Snowflakes falling down. Rest my head under the stars, Watching snowflakes falling down. Days that slumber. Bears all go and slumber. Deep in their caves do they shutter, Flutter a brow, Close their brown twinkling eyes. Rest through all the winters. Snowflakes they don't find... With a hint of frost Should lay upon their nose. Snowflakes on my pillow. Snowflakes all around. Snowflakes touch my rosy face. Rest myself upon the blanket, Snowflakes covered on the ground. Love's deadly embers burn The smoke disperses, hidden behind the sky. Snowflakes floating down. Snowflakes upon my pillow there With head upon the ground. Dead, the lovely fire that glowed all around. Love's dying embers smothered to the ground. Snowflakes frost & cover, Love's dying embers can not melt, Frost covered snowflakes their places take. Snowflakes touch my cheery rose colored face. The taste of snowflakes on my tongue. Love's deadly embers can not die inside of me. Snowflakes fill the sky They are fresh, cool, lovely Empathy flies floating down upon me Like bears' hibernation, Snowflakes I may taste. Love's dying embers can not forsake Retrace nor awake Their searing pain inside of me. Snowflakes on my pillow Wake and blanket the sky Snowflakes with all their beauty take.
