Christmas is a time for children
Of Santa, sleighs and snow
Of scented pines, hot mulled wines,
Icy cold noses, cheeks aglow.

Christmas is a time for family
For news throughout the year
Chinking toasts, sumptuous roasts
Well wishes and good cheer.

Christmas is a time for Baby Jesus
Of Wise Kings, angels and stars
An exhilarating night, the glorious sight
Long before computers and cars.

Christmas is a time for presents
Of bright wrappings, ribbons and bows
Of twinkling lights, breathless sights
Candlelight, carols and pantomime shows.

Christmas is a time for giving
To spare a thought for the lonely and old
A letter or gift, spirits that lift
To be remembered, not left out in the cold.

Christmas is a time for excitement
Of waiting for Santa to show
Milk and mince pies, delighted cries
From the biggest kid I know!

The blackbird trills with merry voice
At the onset of the night
Its melody piercing hazy murk
Singing with glorious might.

How impressive for one so small
To out-sing the robin and the lark
To call upon those thermal tides
Coursing cross lane and hedge and park.

Oh sweet, enchanting warbler
Let your tune pierce every heart
Your voice is the last, we hear at night
And first....at the fresh day's start.

I know not what drives my passion
Nor what feeds my mind
I cannot but be besotted
By words of any kind.
I have searched the corners of my heart
From the deep south to the frozen north.
I can draw no definite conclusions
As the prose just utters forth.

Life is like a banana....
With its firm, sweet fruit inside
But if you carelessly drop the skin...
You're likely to take a slide.

So this is the moral of the story.....
To enjoy Life's little treat...
Discard your peel in the nearest bin...
And you'll stay upright on your feet!

The only thing about me that's perfect.....are my imperfections!

I want you to plunge right in me
Feel your fingers yank my hair
I want to see the hunger
Of your heated, ravenous stare...
I want to feel you moving
Set a fiercely, lustful pace
I want to sense the moment....
Your control has lost the race....
I want to embrace your body
Grasp you tightly with my thigh
I want to hear your rasping moan,
Hear your deeply, sated sigh.....
I want to hold you to me
Feel your heat upon my skin
I know your love's gone through me
Purging demons...deep within....
I want to whisper 'I love you...'
Caress that staggering beat
I want you to know....you are my world
I am unequivocally.......complete!

You're the one ....
Who makes me laugh.....
                          rushing tingles down my spine
Who puts me in my place
Whose absence, makes me pine.

You're the one....
Who makes me smile.....
                       overwhelms me with good grace
Who reaches deep within me
                         makes me yearn for your embrace.

You're the one....
Who makes me chuckle....
Who keeps me company throughout the night
Who lingers selflessly by my side.....
                        who disappears at first light.

You're the one.....
Who makes me giggle.....
Who shows me that you care...
Who's made me fall head over heels
Who's caught me in his snare!
