If, you get no gifts?
Or a gift to give.
Give them your love.
It free and more remembered.

If you have that it's the better present to have.

If you wish for something?
And fail to materialize.
Give them your love.
It will be the greatest surprise.

God gifted us with the greatest gift.
And it been many, many decades since.
And that present represented throughout the universe.

So, give them your love.
Because it's the best present to have.
It's loving.
It's caring.
It's unselfish and free.

And if accepted freely it make many, many happier.

The day we met, my world folded in on itself,

Jasmine wilting in my hair, petals falling like warnings.

You held me like a lifeline, but the ground still opened,

Swallowing me whole before I could learn your name.

Now I want you gone, not just from my skin,

But from the archive of my grief,

Erased from the map of my heart, its borders sealed.

He kissed her knuckles, a pale benediction,

and left as the monsoon swallowed the sky whole.

Thunder cracked like bones beneath her skin;

her cigarette hissed, an ember fighting the wet.

His letters, damp with ink, bled the lies she read.
