Wrapped gifts show great value and importance
Prepared with love to receivers and loved ones
Small and big gifts shared unwrapped or no ribbons
Are done with haste like cakes without icings' boon

Enriched with sweetness of friendship delight
Bubbling midst love’s joy, not sugar-coated
We savor chats of chocolatey sprite
Grateful for vibrant bonding, grace-salted.
While coffeing, we honeyfy talk-bliss
Reminiscing high school festive days
Lollipopping during breaks … not to miss
Licking cake-icings, showing glowing face.
With sizzling menus along progress-gain
Cheered by favorite meals of good news flow
We linger beyond taste of candy-reign
And sumptuous dishes’ contentment-glow.
As friends* juicing-out fruits of partnership
We suffice each other with caring treats
Around satisfying blest fellowship
Thanking God for granting us meeting feats.
*3John 1:14 But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.

A bribery
Can be great or small
Even sweet as the cake icings
Enlightened as the rustles of the night worms
Stonely silent as the night darkness
Secret murmuring as the stars
Unmoved and unconcerned as the bright moon
But suspended and burdened is your own heart
With a prolonged confrontation
Amongst your secrets, guilts, reputations, expectations, greeds
And the truths of life
Your choice will be your destiny

If time shall not our derelict joys
Revive with tunes melodious so,
Let past's nostalgic merries balm
Our souls and bid all sorrows go.
Should ebbing laughter and smiles
Their cold arcs yet vanishing carve,
May old cheers of our jolliest whiles
Redeeming warmths pitifully impart.
Although gone mirths seldom thwart
Present galls despite their vivid hues,
Mortal forgetteries lulling blisses are,
As would certainly void painful clues.
Thus might sweetly reechoed tones,
Excerpts from our merriments dead,
Like beneficent ditties in unison allay
All lingering whits of lonesome dread.
And if blunt fate her forking bivouacs
Twirl and twine in drab manners sour,
Beclouding paths erst snowing white;
Here’s bold shield in life’s icings dour.

If everything was running smooth
Dancing in the rain
All the music was in tune
Not a day that's late
Every track ahead was clear
For this North bound train
The big to do of me and you
Would still find something to complain
With the color both sides the street
The darkest shade of green
Good times never out of sight
The sunny side each day we'd greet
Or at the market food department
Giving free magic beans
You'd look at me and we'd both agree
There'd be something to complain
If we were told the icings gold
On every birthday cake
The weather here this time of year
Is like standing in the shade
And down on every corner
They're giving dollar bills away
The spot we're at we would sit
And find something to complain
If every test flying colors passed
Always with an A
Knowing well but would never tell
Didn't study much that day
And all along what could go wrong
Never got the blame
Through all of it not one thought to quit
But still finding something to complain

Before I thought roses,
gift wrappers, and high-
heels which were red
symbolized love,
until when I met you.
I found your love to be raw
and real; it had no romantic exaggerations
or emotional icings. You loved me
as I was, even after I removed the mask
that hid the real me.
There was no more red in my mind
to define love;
I saw everything as it was in our
love. I saw our love in black and white....

Melting tears of the moon is snow dust, frozen droplets
Turning into flakes of white icy lace, that cling to the baron
Limbs of the tree tops, for it is winters grace, a frozen
Kiss given unto autumns last sighs of farewell, until
The next seasons change takes place.
Softly floating wisps of thin frozen mists, shifting
Ever lightly, gracefully unto the winds, tenderly
Aloft, free falling paper thin crystals of ice,
Cascading downwards unto the frozen earth below.
Layers of delicate texturing of refineries elegance,
Transforms this landscape of falls color burst, into
A winter wonderland of frost and white icings
Gleaming brilliance.
A kingdom of flickering diamonds is show cased
Beneath the lunar shine, of the light hanging within
The heavens above, a glittering field of gems
Illuminated by the elliptical sphere, Called the moon.
In this picturesque display, the writer ponders
Humbly, to the wonders of nature’s masterful
Hands of creation, to be able to create such
Beauty on
this frozen canvas, and the poet
Is left in awes wake of hushed expression.

Welcome to this ceremonious event
of me unveiling my thoughts
of me unfolding my brazenness
of you displaying your wittiness
of you and me affecting changes
On line, in line, on time beyond time
With million likes
The game is on
The line is on
The status is open
For all of you to presume, assume and resume your own positioning of point of
views
Whatever stand, brand and grandstand of opinionated, imposed upon or
layered views
nicely spread with icings of lies and some sprinkles of truth
Either requited, unrequited, desired or abhorrent
Everything's game
All is kosher
Your event is every second
every minute and every thoughts posted
No less
Minds matter most
Than actual consequences

Come and live with me
be my spouse
savoring chocolate kisses
in our own gingerbread house.
With four walls
a roof, a door, a window and swing
a pure culinary delight
painted with the sweetest of icings!
We will add more rooms
scented with ginger delight
add love stories
lovely as a ginger bite!
Built by the candy cane rainbow
there will be a vanilla side
and a chocolate side to show
such a lovely home for the holidays!
You and I in our gingerbread home
on a street of peppermint
in the front yard a gummy drop gnome
with pineapple face and blueberry eyes...

Enticingly juicy
Melting on the burning
Lips of passion
Stretching tongues to lick
But soured drops long left over
Icings of deadly venoms
Ooh greedy zealots
Gulping to stupor
Concoctions for all such gluttons

WHEN I DIE
Wash me, wrap me, dig
some earth
Buy me a casket if you must
Love, when I die don't let
the holy man touch me.
For the life of dirt I lead this
here
Could a year of prayer wipe
a slate
Engraved with gold and
blood of theft and tears
And greed and lust and hate
Many a foetus robbed of
breath and
Seven nights and seven
days of orgy
Drunkenness and rape
Of scooping icings off some
cakes and
Much disdain for day of
death?
Wash me, wrap me, dig
some earth
Buy me a casket if you must
Love, when I die don't let
the holy man touch me
Lest he contract a death of
sin.
