Best Gifting Poems

the lake's clear crystal
belies the ice hold's brittle
grasp yet I'm blissful

the springtime's warm sun
will quickly disperse the fun
blossoms have begun

in hearts young and old 
flirts and flirting growing bold
gifting more than gold

summer's golden sun 
brings forth the bursting blossoms
as lovers embrace 

beneath the bowers

Silence
the gift of time
a wink
a strike
that lights a candle
a breath
that bops a gong
a smile
that rings a bell
a mind
that stirs a chime
that stops
and listens
till the very last sound wave
travels
resonates
through air
giving
the gift of time
one precious moment
eternity in a capsule

Want to return, 
to unknowing, the 
trap door.

Filling up the gaps, 
the arrow slits. No more 
I will need weapons.

Trespassing the, 
brutality of sin, committed 
against the sanctity?

of body. This is how 
I am re-creating myself 
without morbidity.

Annihilation , was not 
the answer. I am...

You're driving across the mysterious lands,
You're making your way to the sea and the shore.
Let go of the wheel and stretch out your hands -
Your secret desires will call you for more.

Midnight in July.
The boundless sky.
The signs in the violet mist.
The red and green lights
That...

I desire, into this world,
to be the bearer of many gifts;
to create, share and teach.

Everyone on this planet, is a teacher
and a student of life; all beings;
our special talents are precious, shared gifts.

To all within this realm, this world;
to all students and teachers,
I thank you...

My wretched soul so twisted by self doubt,
malingered on false words and fragrant lie.
Through turbulence and ever-endless drought,
in hushed distress, my inner child did cry.
Yet fervent help did temper my despair,
injecting hope to heal my restless soul.
Allowing one the time for self repair,
absolving fixed beliefs...

O viola, 
go over the grapes
and find an ageless green.

It is difficult 
to be born
again, undoing death.

You swoon
at the continuity
of crossroads –

with blue flags
in your bowl.
A rosette,

without a winner.
A birthday gift
for all the failures.

At seventy five
you walk over a prairie
to find a shade.

Filigree eyes so fervent
Agitated incensed thoughts
Silenced…
Lest terror and dilemma 
Sacrifice you to lifeless mettle

Muddled illusory echoes
A vacant faced hollow shroud
Defined…
Rise and slake the flames	
Quash the panicked ire

Reside in ardent moments 
Suppressed of biting angst
Falling…
Catch the yield of filigree eyes
Crystalline tears...

There just below the surface,
  more present than you know

A prophetic Jeremiah,
  tracks leading through the snow

His message serves to buttress,
  those standing in the light

A pipeline to eternity,
 —his vision gifting sight

Say my name tonight and always
Call me when your heart does need
Let me know your great desires
Provide your love, for then I’ll feed

Waste not, any single minute
Time’s of the essence, let’s live now
Hearts entwine right at this moment
We’ll gift each other, as hearts allow...

The gift of prophecy holds my thoughts
to discern the wickedness all around.
I am blessed with many gifts in my life
that God gave me with obedience.

I battled the spirit of fear for a long while
and God delivered me from his craftiness.
Now when he is near I...

I believe in friends, and forgiveness by way of overkill
so I ran swiftly over, carrying my Minnie Mouse skateboard still.
You could have ridden it, she said, coming to the door.
as I slid in brownies, cookies, pumpkin pie, and other goodies galore.

I am an dunderhead, an...
