Northern Wind

Crisp bleached beauties sting upon exposed flesh

Brilliant rapture of the void carves to the bone

Unwelcome kisses bite true morphing lips to a tundra

Incalculable invaders assail randomly inevitable strategy

Innumerable fallen brethren litter landscape abscent voice

Free of burdens of sacrifice with pain delivered in jest

Stealing breath with chasmed coughs and fervored pitch

Strength seeps as if leeched by undernourished maws

Trees naked with silence offering a similarly sorrow retreat

Willing our days into months treated by sodden despair of virgin vigors

Prerogatives snap a cold demand for recompense from the sun

You truly love winter I believe.
You do have a very interesting choice of words. My favorite line here would have to be...
"Trees naked with silence offering a similarly sorrow retreat"
I love the image I get as I look out at a white coated landscape beholding "naked" trees.
Those unwelcomed Kisses of winter...(longing) for the warm kisses of a newfound spring!

Wonderful piece!

I've always like the colder climates being a bigger guy and winter has always been my season of choice around here. Sure, it can be troublesome, but it suits me quite well.

That may change as time moves on, but only time will tell.

Yes, I lived in Indiana as a child as it did me well as I loved to do snow angels and eat snow ice cream but now with my age creeping upon me and years of warm weather under my belt so to say I doubt I could handle the cold! And indeed it can be troublesome lol.

It came to me at work randomly - sometimes the most mundane things can lead to things like this.

Thanks for your review my friend.

What a fascinating piece. I love your sentiments!! There is a slight feeling of disjointedness- is that intentional? Your word choice is interesting and helps further the superb imagery. Excellent job!

[Wynter Ignatius]

I often write how I think, so disjointed comes with the territory. If you have ever read anything by Chuck Palahniuk you would see why he is my favorite modern author.

[Alex Ryder]

Oh, I quite enjoy some of his works!!

[Wynter Ignatius]

I own them all including his tour guide book for the Portland area called "Fugitives and Refugees."

As I said before he is by far my favorite modern author. So close to my mindset and thinking pattern it boarders on the scary.

Only one other person seems to get me so well - my kindred soul if I may be so bold to call her that.
