I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.
...
One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
...
We have tested and tasted too much, lover-
Through a chink too wide there comes in no wonder.
But here in the Advent-darkened room
Where the dry black bread and the sugarless tea
...
It is dark, no moon, no light
Just darkness, a starless sky
The wind blows, the waves break
A single firefly passes by
...
January brings the snow,
makes our feet and fingers glow.
February brings the rain,

January 1912, Mzansi brought forth a child
In a harsh political climate
Destined to free her people
Bound to cruel Fate
...
January jumps about
in the frying pan
trying to heat
his frozen feet
...
The days will rally, wreathing
Their crazy tarantelle;
And you must go on breathing,
But I'll be safe in hell.
...
Your sterling love
Is like a gigantic sponge
That absorbs the fountain of my pain
Soaking it invisibly, awakening my soul
...
Our Christmas gift
From God's only Son
Star-filled nights
Sun-filled days
...
I have a white rose to tend
In July as in January;
I give it to the true friend
Who offers his frank hand to me.

She comes out to sing
to express happiness
from her house of
paper, straw and grasses

We have two children. Both are she'ses.
This is our January rule:
One girl in bed, and one in school.

My shadow --
I woke to a wind swirling the curtains light and dark
and the birds twittering on the roofs, I lay cold
in the early light in my room high over London.
...
Sometimes at night I hear small birds lament.
Dark notes that seem to second moon's descent.
Cold is the color of a deep regret,
An etude perfected by winterset.
...

Winter is past
At last! At last!
Life has begun

sitting on a platform
ignoring the sound of fast crossing trains
and trains halting late at the station

Today the trees in the park are greening
and the geese are returning
and the sparrows are nesting

As the snowdropp sea of glistening white
Envelopes and amazes me, I, standing
Here in a woodland clearing think of mighty
Love. This waving scene of purity hangs

An emotional moment
For there in the mail
Was a bundle of cards
All..wishing me well

For all the happiness that's mine;

Gets a great chance

My April Love from me will ne'er depart.

N-ever fear the bleak horizon.

While tending to the garden one balmy November,
Helping my mother wash the leaves of the dust,
And gently cut off the dead branches and flowers,
Spraying the ones still seeming bright and robust…

On snowbright breasts the babe-faced year

What is it about some days
Birthday, festivals and anniversary
New Year and first of January
We wake up expectant and gay…

The neighbours watched day by day
wondering what was coming their way.
Slowly constructed to great surprise,
a mish mash of wire, haunted their eyes.

The Meaning Of Real Success
January 26, 2019
What do you mean by real success? Worldly gainings?
...
May you wake up on January 1st,
finding that the world has not come
to an end, the lights work, the water
faucets flow, and the sky has not fallen?
...
Will there be a sun
That truly shine through
The grey clouds
Burning them until the sky is blue
...
Teardrops running down the cheeks should be salty
But they burn like pepper when concealed in a thick beard.
Pains of broken heart

Oh, Anne, your offences to me have been grievous:
I thought from my wrath no atonement could save you:
But woman is made to command and deceive us —
I look 'd in your face, and I almost forgave you.

On the wind of January
Down flits the snow,
Travelling from the frozen North
As cold as it can blow.

The titanic war caused horror,
The enemy melted in fear,
The young soldier after victory,
Packed his baggage in hurry.

Let me say it aloud to the world today
That you have been, you are
And will remain till the very last whistle

The Bloodthirsty More Than Ferocious Animal (Haiku Poetry)
January 28, 2020
▌
...
On 12 January 2010 a 7.0 force earthquake struck 16 miles offshore from Port-au-Prince demolishing the capital and killing many thousands of its citzens. Haiti occupies the western third of Hispanola a Carribean Island 45 miles east of Cuba. The population is just in excess of 10 million and about 3 million Hatians live abroad. It is a poor country and many of its citizens have poor health including TB and Aids. It is nominally Christian (80% Catholic) and about 50% of the population practise Hatian Vodu. What can we do? We can give generously now and during the year. If we have specialist skills we can join teams being sent out by our Governments. We can also pray Individually and Collectively for our beloved 'Brothers & Sister' in Haiti. It's up to you - but please do something.
Pray for Haiti and the Haitians
That GOD will hear their cries and prayers

Then, many times I have passed this area
Many times I have smelled yellow flowers
...
It's never the memories,
It's that hoarde of feelings
Leaves me empty of tears now,
Until my eyes are like stones,

The surface of this infinite creation,
No one can imagine so easily
Unless you, oh dear God, introduce,
Thinking for several times

Day is started with dawn
Beauty is motivated by light,
Mind has positive vibrations,
Newness has given strength,

I was sitting beside my ailing mother's hospital bed
On the thirty first night,
Unaware that some celebrations were a common ritual
On this night.

Morning snow
Serene, silent and joyous,
Falling with a slant
Like silvery strings of wire
...
Nobody can notice your tears
In the bite of the January rains
They merge in salty stings
And into one long stream of memories
...
Gubble bum, gubble bum
Have you seen my gubble bum?
The last I saw
It was over there

Not a cloud burst.
Yet emotions get
build up_

A hut inside forest is found near trees.
