This year is different in many ways
Christmas just doesn’t feel the same
Just another day, for me, unfortunately
But I hope, for you, it’s as magically as can be
Merry Christmas to you and God Bless from me...
With all my family moving away recently, we are left with changes for this holiday.

Merry Christmas
Near and far
Merry Christmas
To those in our hearts
Today let’s celebrate for what we have
Let’s take a moment for those we’ve lost
As we gather with family and friends on this Christmas Day
It’s not about presents under the tree
It’s about who your surrounded by and who loves you the most
Even if their far away from you or on another coast
Keep reminding yourself about the memories you’ve made
For today we celebrate, on this Christmas Day...
Merry Christmas from me
My present is you under the tree
For always being a part of my life
Constant support, love and fight
I hope you have a blessed day
Merry Christmas to you, my friends and family.....
Take away the festive music

Forget the hand over trinkets

Fear in his soul

aging like a ghost in a wishing well

watching reruns of shows fragment of years on television sets

no one around

silhouettes and ice mirrors  hanging

a sight of frozen ways appear

through the windows

looking at frozen grounds

He forces a smile

He is not greedy

nor thinking through pockets of gold

he is a hungry and empty soul

looking for the same as his sisters and his brothers

anything but this empty hall

this ghost lets out one last groan

before he freezes up all lone
Questions rumble as I entered a room
In a dream all eyes poured upon me
I start my proud trade in song
However, the audience is deaf and blind.
Awakening
Same old feeling
"How do I escape to Fantasy Island?"
Clearing the grains of sand
that "Father Time" impregnated into his eyes
For untold reasons
The dreams are like aired reruns
from a transmission in in sleep
waking kills its beautiful treat
hang out all day
cooking in the sun
movies are fun to watch
acting is an escape
when you are not a "Superman"
Lost to Krypton weighing on his cape
"You better make that Candy Bar Last"
It's hard for a broken back to enjoy
"His next stand"
without a prop to help hold him
up from falling
in "Chernobyl's Black Hole"
as his counterpart hovers in safety
watching another drown. "What planet are you? Far?"
Miles pledge the marks
Until the quiet fades
And Mr. Hyde Tries to fight you
The Wicked Joker reigns "supreme"
as you fight past A Waking Nightmare
Not a "Wizard " in "past Kansas"
Your soul flies far away
As your waking body receives their torture
As the body shivers and then ages
Fire burns remembrance
As it's ashes marks the lost pages
from your past
The smoke poofs into explosive shell rains
Smile
You are now in a movie
Fighting a forced "in class."

Love between
Texts gives enough love
Lights my whole face up
Smile big as earth

The day after
All the excitement has come to an end
The joyous times with family and friends
Christmas Day has come and gone
Present unwrapped, kids having fun
The hustle and bustle is all done
Now it’s time to end the year
Hoping 2020 will bring you cheer
To start anew and have a fresh start
To those we have lost, stay in our hearts
Let’s look to the future and what’s yet to come
To excitement, love and fun
The future looks bright and wonderful memories to come..

I beg of you to set me free
Remove these bricks upon my feet
Weighing me down
My feet our bound
Sinking slowly
Into the ground
One step
At a
Time
