Christmas
Children rejoice
Sleigh rides, jingling of bells
Santa Claus exclaims..."Ho! Ho! Ho!"
Christmas carols play on radio stations
Jesus is born in Bethlehem
Gifts under Christmas trees
Mass homecomings
Christmas
Small things like family outings and book readings,
Trust and Godly fear, to feel Him near,
A heart that sings of homecomings on poet wings,
True friendship dear - small things bring sweet cheer.
08/13/17
In the glowing side of evening faced houses
Hooting owls distant echo sounds
Still awaiting the dawn
Partners restle for hungry passion fleeting
Dreams of homecomings
Streamers banners awaiting for hours
Love is lost at dusk
Wind graces the tall grass
Bends and aches towards
The east where life comes
And goes as I face
The glowing rise
Of my mood
Love scattered milky way
Wraped blind my heart
So careses yesterday
Moments in time slips
By for tommarrow I fly
In the glowing side
Of evening
Choking wheezing kicking screaming
slowly deepening into uncontiousness
drowning rope shots guns hearts
and hopes fathers daughters and
moms high schools homecomings
and proms they all stair me in the
face like i'm a big disgrace but it
could all end if i make the choice
to live without a body or voice as
a figure that walks among the died
and watch as people just turn there
head see all the people cry and
wonder why but its all my choice if
i want to make it that way i just have
to not use my VOICE
