Merry Christmas !

/////

This the time when toys

Achieve final deification !

We now no longer need to use
Our antiquated and useless minds !

||

This the greatest present of all !

FREEDOM from any responsibility

••

Here in the USA !

( the United Santas of America ! )

///

Brought to you by the grace of

International Bankers

And military slavery !!!

/////

So

Be of good cheer !

Drink wine !
Drink whisky !
Drink beer !

////

And watch the world just float away !

Wintry dark night in her elements appears
unleashes her harsh reign over the world submissive,
every spec of light awake is  frightened,
threatened to extinction by the minions of darkness
they decide to go underground and hibernate
waiting for their time to come, with bated breath

A long time after dusk falls, like a winter wonder
created by a wizard, in nature's command,
a pale white disk appears at the far end of the horizon
and slowly reveals her true color as the resplendent moon.

In a dark cavern he sits thinking about her,
a drop of buttery light spilled from moon's hold
falls right on his lap, rekindling his hope to reunite
his pulses race, he feels a sudden delight
the trees in tandem move, sing a song for her heart to rejoice.

Darkness, loses her grip, now in back foot quick
moon  unleashes her soft waves of influence
now he hears the song his heart sings, a forgotten tune
and then from a distance he hears it first----
a night bird's song for it long lost pair,
"It's her, it's her" his broken heart lets out a cry..
With fingertips
I touch your forehead

my hands bless your head

my heart accepts you for life.

I vow to love you
as I have loved my son.

Welcome home, my daughter.
that says for my absence for a fortnight.
thank you all fellow poets on hp.
my gratitude to Victoria, Rick, Steve, Cristina and Chimaera.

The tree was decorated
so shinny and full
lights sparkled brightly
it was quite beautiful
Pine scent aroma filled the air
no one seemed to have a care
It was Christmas night
The children were tucked in tight
milk and cookies by the fire
the radio played songs sung by a choir
everything was peaceful
in my tiny home
even the dog smiled, nibbling his bone

My life is a road shaped like a figure 8.

directionless. pointless. But I know I’ll be late.

Can’t drown these demons, that i taught how to swim.

The fighting gets tiring, somebody call Jake & Finn.

Be gone thy one with forked tongue.
Speak only through your toxic pen.
Graffiti wrote in blazing red
Thoughts written in emotive letters.
For all the world to see.
Before your feelings, be declared cold and dead.

You open
the
fortune cookie
and
there is
nothing
inside
At a lowest lowest time this actually happened, proving once again there is no fiction greater than truth

The words no longer
Hold meaning

can we be
friends?
brother & sister?
kin?

can we
carry,
eachother.

broken or whole,
intact or damaged.

and let's be honest,
none are wholly intact
and all are,
brokenly damaged.

but,
be that as it may.

let us,
carry
eachother,
for we are,
(what passes for)
humanity.

let us carry            each other
across the wastelands, through the high waters,
over mountains,
and
through valleys,

until,
we find the place
of
  joyful reconciliation.
          

can we do that,
people?
can we
put the *******
aside
and
do that?

I stood with my father in the
shop, by the register.  

the eager, blue eyes of
a toddler

-bright blonde hair,
minature hand treasuring a

promised lollipop- met old
ones so sorely remembering the

likeness to that boy my brother and
I held, all those years ago.

his little face nearly exploded
in a smile up at the kind,

weathered man. my father smiled,
no, laughed back in a spontaneous

outburst of appreciation at this
glimpse thirty odd years back in

time, where either one of his
two little gods of pride

looked up; back, and
smiled with their little hearts

full of safe, soft, adoring life.
so far from the two rugged men

we've become.
towering, no longer

asking for anything.
for a few seconds, I saw divinity

between the
two of them,

and
thanked.

betterdays
quiet as a mouse,
in a corner
thats me,

it is simply this,
i have nothing to say
of any great worth,
at present.

so i shall sit,
quiet in a corner
chewing on cheese,
sipping red wine,
(decadant mousy, me.)
watching the world
pass by.....
                 squeek,squeek...
not too busy,
not word blocked
just happy to watch,
for now....
falling for me,
is like a step backwards
off of a pier
with cement shoes
i'll just drag you under baby
while gasping
i love you too
