Poem
"Kris Kringle Kisses Kalliope" A Dream: the 4th Christmas. deck the halls with memories poets whisper pasts that are ne’er forgotten where presents a life that’s neatly wrapped and attempts at frostily forgotten tucked under that big beautiful green fir tree where all the dreams of poets go gold starred, tinselled and angel mounted ripe cherries kissed crassly under mistletoe Ah Christmas capture me up in your safe magic arms let me sip the nectar from your sweet eggnog cups like Puck’s flower flows on sultry lips and eyelids “love-in-idleness” "The juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid will make man or woman madly dote upon the next live creature that it sees” poet or pup crimson berries crushed against a velvet tongue bedazzled and bewitched fires crackling logs like legs drop and wrap around the flames while in my dreams I await beneath the sugar coated blankets of a bed charmed by snowflakes dusting houses in a row through misted windows where “paper people.... dream their cardboard dreams” “how unreal the whole thing seems can we be living in a world that is made of paper mache? Everything is clean and so neat anything that is wrong can be just swept away” inside is very still... not shaken like a snowglobe - surreal damned be the dams of Love-in-Idleness where eyes reflect your shadow in my dream like opium smoke across cracked glass remember how we all once were some beautiful happy if we could just pull the chord so fresh out of ... class rewind our time rewind it to yesterday like a toy across the ocean bobbing like a buoy an Iceberg keens and cries Nutcracker twirls Sugarplum Kris Kringle Kisses Kalliope Oberon... reals Titania in Slo mo’ Magic mmm Romance lacy frosty melting snow. An iceberg cries in time with Christmas eyes (LadyLabyrinth/ 2020) “Paper Mache” / Dionne Warwick https://youtu.be/85TK2Bia6w8 "There must have been some magic in That old top hat they found For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around"
