2 cups hugs plus one cup love

and a Christmas tree



Gifts favored with care

3 cups grins 2 cups kisses

and snuggly blankets



Chocolaty treats

Tablespoon of handholding

and Christmas stockings


Candy cane delights

Two and a half cups laughter

and Christmas carols



Santa’s ho ho ho

We Pray in The Name of Our Father Lucifer, 
Which wert in Heaven:

Boil, Boil plague-ridden rats and toads in oil,
With a pair of gleaming snake eyes too.

With a touch of horse dung...

Apples and Green Tea
all i need to comfort me
is an apple and some green tea
and a tablespoon of honey
mixed with some ginseng

a bright blue sky overhead
shaded by sycamore trees
classic literature in hand
and just the air that i breathe

i don't mind my world's on fire
or your heated blade pressed...
