Best Merry Christmas Poems
I wish you a Merry Christmas to all
Across the long distance of many miles
From shining stars to the sparkling snowfall
I wish for you presents of many smiles
And soothing bells ringing for you to hear
Across the long distance of many miles
For joy to surround you and warmth to be near
Colorful lights to brighten what you see
And soothing bells ringing for you to hear
A sense of inspiration, filled with glee
Smooth as a sleigh ride on a peaceful night
Colorful lights to brighten what you see
I wish for you contentment with each sight
Candles to be lit with hope to ignite
Smooth as a sleigh ride on a peaceful night
Love surround you in a halo of light
I wish you a Merry Christmas to all
Candles to be lit with hope to ignite
From the shining stars, to the sparkling snowfall

the firstborn
Snow on snow
early morn
gracious glow
Christmas long
all adorn
joyful song

*Merry Christmas to you and to your families my friends!
May the newborn Christ guide and protect all of you!
The cold feet of winter step slowly
past December’s green leaves and red berries
hung from window sills and door jams.
Brightly wrapped in silver shooting stars
tied tight with ribbons of challis and satin bows,
hope of tomorrow lies shining beneath sparkling
scenes of jolly smiling fantasies.
Past remembrance of happier times,
dreams lie untouched,
packaged in soft tissue and gentle smiles
against the breathy whispers of shortened days
and the dark of evening reverie.
Laughing fragrance of cinnamon, tickles
past iced fingers on frozen window panes
as the cider is heated, only to be left chilling,
untouched, beside sweet wishes in sentimental ink,
filled with ephemeral thoughts of fictitious emotions
marking the passing of another day,
as if transcending all others, that like it, passes, sunrise to sunset,
one turn of the earth, special only because it falls at this time of year.
A gentle brush of the hand against
the worn wood of a varnished life
sends a sparkle of glitter spilling from the torn seal,
cascading unnoticed to the cold floor.
Silence permeates the walls of this brightly adorned space.
Only the low volume of distant voices,
murmured from the flickering screen that sits alone
atop the meticulously cleaned table in the corner,
breaks the crystal glaze and thaws the solitude.
In each object on each table is revealed the joy that could be,
the remembered smiles, the bright brown and blue glints of
excited anticipation that fill the frames,
and used to fill this room.
Time now broken, hands of the clock frozen,
I stare at the brightly glowing, twinkling lights,
as my liquid sorrow fills my unfocused eyes
and I soundlessly whisper a lonely, Merry Christmas.

Just wanted to say a very big thank you to all you amazing poets who took the time to comment
on my last post ‘Sunny Horizons’
I would have loved to thank each and every one of you individually, but as I said before –
‘Time waits for no Man ‘and has a way of running away from me…literally.
To my constant support from the time I joined and still… Demetrios and Silent One - I have learned so much from you
two amazing poets, spiritually and poetically. Thank you for all the help over my poetic journey.
To my dear friend Victor Buhagiar, keep writing, never ever stop. Who can forget your stories, especially your poems
with the twist - I adored them.
Paul Callus, you also have helped me so much along the way, especially with your attention to detail and your
encouragement - thank you my dear friend.
To my Love and Light brother Winged Warrior, you are truly amazing.
I don’t think anyone can write internal rhyme like you do. Keep spreading your light.
To my amazing poetic sisters Cecilia Crasto, Susan Ashley, Connie Wong, Carole Duet and Besma - You ladies made my
day with your comments, they are worth framing, believe me.
Robert Linley, Vijay, Tom, Arturo, Faraz, Craig Cornish, and July Morning, Martin Williams and Charlie Messina...
I will always treasure your comments.
Judy Stickles and Akkina, a big thank you to you two lovely ladies.
Thanks for being in my life
Sunshine Smile, Darren White, Teppo, Chris Green and Word Hobo, the very first poets who welcomed me
into the Soup and made me feel so welcome…Thank you.
To Heidi Sands, Brandy, Eve, Sunlite, Warren Doll, John Gondolf, Joseph May, Mike Gentle, Michael Wise, Raw Thinker
and to the poets who have come and gone and had supported me…
Thank you all too.
You are all truly amazing poets, forever let your golden ink flow.
Lastly let me leave you with these parting words …
Keep your passion for poetry always for as W.H.Auden once said
A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language. ? W.H. Auden
Are you paying attention
Can you hear it now
It's coming very close
Yes it's Christmas time again
Oh tell me you feel it
Is your heart beat with excitement now
Are you wondering if you're naughty or nice
Set free of negative thoughts, feel the magic
Holy night
Born is the king
Our savior
Jesus Christ
Listen to His voice
Look out for His signs
Feel Him in your heart
Let Him be your all wants and needs
He need you to be ready
Welcome Him into your heart
Be content for what's you have
But most of all, be happy
Peace
Joy
Love
Merry Christmas to one and all
Smile

'Twas the night before Christmas at my house
when I heard a noise, and it wasn't a mouse.
While my wife was still fast asleep in bed,
through the window, I saw a flash of red.
I blamed raccoons for causing this uproar,
I know what they're like; I've heard them before.
Tipping garbage cans over, they're a pest,
and wanting to check it out, I got dressed.
No one was stirring, so I went to see
what made enough noise to awaken me.
Grabbing a flashlight, I headed outside,
where I slipped, landing square on my backside.
Let me tell you, I wasn't in a good mood,
and that fall didn't improve my attitude.
On the roof, I spot reindeer and a sled,
for it wasn't raccoons, but Santa instead.
And Rudolph's scarlet nose was all aglow,
causing a red reflection on the snow.
Santa winked, and then the reindeer took flight,
I tell you, I'll never forget that night.
My wife would not believe a word I said,
saying that I probably hit my head.
But when I was getting up from my fall,
I swear I heard, "Merry Christmas to all."
To my friends and family
You are the ones who let me in
When I need an Inn
Even when I have to stay in a kraal
You will still make that call
On this day of joy and love
I wish you happiness
As described by the beatitudes
Happiness that blossoms in any weather
Outgrowing weeds lashed together
Another day will follow this day
I pray the spirit with stay this way
Merry Christmas
Mild sun of winter
Spreads a love touch everywhere
Of happy Christmas
In the slum a child
Smiles in a red hibiscus
Petals of Jesus
Blankets offered to
Poor people standing in rows
Jesus in rainbow
In the hospital
Life smiles in bruise blood and pus
Footfalls of Jesus
Upon the sweet grass
Jesus smiles in drops of dew
Lovely Christmas hue
In Christmas flavour
To all poetry soupers
A merry Christmas

This is always a very very difficult time of year for me. I get so dang depressed,
and yes the majority of that pain comes from being incarcerated. It is a very lonely place.
Christmas is actually my fav. time of year. It was also my momma's (Grandmomma) who
passed in 2007. Her memory glows brighter within my heart during Christmas. She raised
me from a babe to a man...Yes I was grandmas boy :) So I was extremely spoiled. When
she passed in "07 (while I was in here) Man it nearly killed me. Please read "For
Grandmomma" (I wrote about her and my loss). Anyway - Thank you to my best friend
Marty Owens, For making Christmas a little happier for me. I don't really have "family" only
(my 2 beautiful daughters Jasmine 11 yrs and Brianna 9 yrs.) Marty is all I have in my life.
It's a very lonely hard place to be in without "family" or "friends" Friends are so rare.
I'm talking genuine friends. So he introduced me to PS because of my raging passion for
writing. I've grown so attached to some of you! I'm surprised at the love I have for some of
you and I don't really know some of you. lol It's wierd, but love can be wierd sometimes.
So ...Charma many hugs and kisses! Carol B. who introduced a lot of people on PS to me.
Thank you! Lolita my friend until the end! Audrey my biggest fan, I'm here for you always!
Patricia A. woman you always make me smile. Simone my newest fan your comments
sometimes make me blush! lol Linda-Marie I loved my Christmas card and your
encouraging words...thank you..Lena...what can I say? There are cards I would like to get
out to some of you..send addresses sm and marty will get them to me via postal mail. I
would like to hear from you guys w/pics I too will send pics of me Merry Christmas XOXO's

May you always walk in sunshine
May all your dreams come true
May happiness always be your partner
May your lover always woo you
Smelling
Woody, sweet, aroma
Christmas pine tree,
Weaved with Bright blinking lights,
Topped with a starlit top.
Feeling
The Brrr ... chill of the night air
Brrr ... freezing cold of the North Pole.
Listening
To the sounds of the wind
For the Ring a ling, jingling,
Ringing of the sleigh bells.
Watching
Moonlight shadows dancing
On the walls as they take
Different fantasy shapes
Waiting
Jolly, rolly, “Ho, Ho, Ho”
White beard Santa
In a white fur trim, red velvet suit.
Seeing
Santa’s sleigh just went zooming by
Fading off to nighttime dreams
Making every minute count.

Merry Christmas
>
Dangling on the thread of time,
suspended with little hope.
Dancing to the same old tune,
trying hard to cope.
Strings pulled, buttons pushed,
controlling all they do.
Aware, but can't get free,
slaves through and through.
Clinging to Isaiah's word,
that there will come a day.
When God will send a deliverer,
to sweep their enemy far away.
And there will be joy and jubilation,
when He comes and sets them free.
Love and peace will rule with justice,
For all eternity........
See their dilemma My Son,
there's nothing now that they can do.
Sin has them chained and bound,
now its time that they met you.
I must send you down to them,
there is no other way.
Teach them to love in truth,
show them a new way.
But my son there's something else,
I must have you do.
Take all their sin upon yourself,
and die a death so cruel.
You'll suffer pain like no one else,
to pay their penalty.
It hurts me so to ask you Son,
will you do this for them and me.
After three days with the dead,
you'll be raised and brought back home.
Never again to suffer,
never again to be alone.
Love is what we are My Son.
Love is what we do.
Take our love down to them,
show them our love is true....
Glory to God in the highest
And on earth, peace and goodwill towards men
Emmanuel, The King of all Kings
has been born this day in Bethlehem
Merry Christmas
