One morning while sanding my deck
(Which by the way is a pain in the neck)
I fell down in a hole
Met a cute little troll
Now I live there, too, what the heck
Inspired by a true event (sans the troll).

She is
A frozen beauty
In the night
The aurora
Of lights
Shimmering
Cold
Dark
Deadly
A vision
Reflecting
Jewels
Gleaming
The crown
She holds
Alluring
Her offer
Enticing
Accept it, and she will freeze
Your soul

Whatever shall I make for dinner?
The cupboard is bare, nothing new
It has to be something that’s tasty
I know! I’ll make some alphabet stew
I can’t remember where I put them
Those letters, always on the loose
I need to gather enough of them
To allow me, this stew, to produce
Finally finding the package
I take what I need to proceed
An S, a U, two P’s and an E
Exactly the letters I need
But wait! Something is missing
This really is quite bizarre
I thought I had it altogether
But my supper is missing its R

I am as black as a raven
Against the brightest moon
I venture, seeking solace
Taken from me, too soon
Ebony night, speak to me
Let peace and tranquility abound
Shadows enveloping, sheathing
Their spirits dance, profound
A settling calm, stormless
Sends me deeper into the vast
I am no longer searching
The darkness has claimed me
At last

Walk with me, softly through the night
Over pillows of sand, piled high
Like the dunes, on a deserted beach
We’ll leave footprints, trailing behind
Our life’s path, where many will travel
Yet, only those who dare, triumph
Walk with me, softly through the day
Gaze at the snow, floating gently
Creating a wonderland, distinct
In crystalline shapes, delicately placed
By the winds, carelessly blowing
Quietly, through our minds
