Best Gift Poems

It's how the stars are lit at night
     and how the dew drops glisten
     How evening shadows mock the light
     and it's how the silence listens

     From the gentle sway of trees
     that bid such...

Around my mom, I always felt my guilt
My conscience seem to always take her side
Some years ago, I gave her a new quilt
I still recall the tears of joy she cried

My gift of love to warm her nights with pride
It's hand sewn patches in a ring design
It showed up at my door after she died
Inside...

The mellifluous musical tones of the village bells

Echoing chimes over the cold snowcapped mountains

Both finding their way to people in the valley below

Christmas songs — let your spirit sing freely and loudly

Welcoming the Birth of Our Savior and Baby King

Who so charms the Angels on High and God Himself

On this night, The Star was so...

A Poet's Gift

A poet writes to share a secret depth 
Of feelings within their soulful breast.
They write to grasp onto immortality,
To be remembered beyond their death.

A poet shares emotions inked upon the
Page that cannot verbally be conveyed.
They dwell in a world of dreams, of dark
And light, of imagination, of metaphors,

Where heartbreak heaves and love believes.

A poet enters a private sanctuary,
A sacred place where the imagination
Dwells with a mélange of emotions
Conceived by aesthetic beauty,
Often divine and esoteric in nature;
That comprehensive longing to
Express through common language
That which is so vitally uncommon. 
Words that seek to form a bridge 
Between intellectual abstract thought
And the world of the inarticulate.

A way to express the...

I saw Love climb upon the wind
Heard the laughter in the breeze
Tasted lilacs, jasmine, and honeysuckle
With a turn and twist Love caressed my skin
The scent of dark chocolate filled my nose 
        A deep longing-hunger arose within me

Love was off again gathering the rain clouds
A shower of tears...

To you who have
never received a love letter ~

Here is the one I write to you
so you may hold it in your hands
and carry it next to your heart.

You are a kind soul and have bestowed love,
you've seen beauty where there were clouds
~ to you I offer gentleness as a bouquet.

My thoughts are genuine and...

I am a wish, a prayer, from mortals lips
That reached heaven and  touched God’s fingertips
And returned to earth wrapped in flesh and blood
A gift from God’s unconditional love

So love and cherish me as God does you
And guide and teach me well in all I do
And together, a garden we will grow
Filled with the fragrant...

My mother's voice,
is the sweetest symphony -
when life becomes troublesome,
soothes like an orchestra of angels.

When there is darkness,
becomes a beacon of light, 
guiding when tides are turbulent,
healing like a meticulous nurse.

My mother is my identity,
her love is my poetry,
yet the pen can never justify,
the magnificence of her mothering. 

My mother is my most precious gift,
as...

I was one of seven children 
Raised in a tiny three-bedroom house 
The rooms were so small 
They could comfort a mouse 

Always, at Christmas 
We would cram 'round the tree 
And I'd look for the presents 
That were gift-wrapped for me 

One special Christmas 
Sorry, I can't remember the year 
But I remember the...

Lavish luscious liaison
Orchestrated obsession
Nocturnal nebulae
Gifted graceful gallantry

Secluded sanctuary
Tiffany telltale turtledoves
Effervescent ecstacy
Metaphysical mascarade
Magically manipulated mandolin
Erotic entanglement 
Delectable daredevil demigods

Rhythmic romance rhapsody
Openhearted opulence
Secret sensuous seduction  
Exquisite exotic elixir
Sumptuous scent of long stemmed roses

Golden rays radiate from above
Energising the world with warmth and love

Illuminating our precious earth
Shining light on its true value and worth

Generating a healthy glow
One that thrives, breeds and grows

Flora and fauna bask in its rays
Grateful for the warmth of summer days

Brightening thoughts ,motivating minds
Creating positivity , negativity left behind

Days viewed in a more positive light

To till an arid desert
  and make it bloom
To fashion with two hands
  a palace of rooms

To drain a swamp 
  and grow there flowers
Man's enduring gift ~
  his creative powers...

.The first gift of Christmas was love

It was bestowed from above

It was given to all

to both rich and  poor

to those who are strong

or who can easily fall

To dark,yellow,and white

To the ones less smart

or those who like first stars shine bright.

To muslims and catholics

buddhists and protestants

To believers and atheists

To the young and the old

To all...
