Reaching for sanctuary in this unlit hotel, without electricity
Due to a storm, stuck here, in this bizarre circumstance
I precariously felt my way in the dark with a trembling hand
I recognized the old smell and feel of flocked wall paper.
"Sorry I cannot go with you," the front desk clerk said. "Busy night."
No one else had arrived to work; the storm was so terrible.
I was too frightened to say anything; I acutely felt I was not alone.
I slung my backpack on my back so I could feel in front of me.
Suspecting the assault would come from the front, like the movies.
My hair was standing on end. My heart never beat any faster.
I sensed an angry soul, watching me, hating me, wanting to hurt me.
Something with an evil heart, certainly no eudaemon.
A brief whiff of shaving cream, led me believe it was a male
When it was alive, if it had ever been of this flesh or earth
I reached the sixth door and fumbled with the key for minutes
The cell towers were out, so even my phone did not light up.
I did not take off my shoes or get undressed. I flopped on the bed.
Ready to take off at a second's warning. It took me awhile to sleep.
In the morning I awoke to a flicker of a glimpse of someone else.
I sat up. It was a shadowy vampire-like creature. He growled.
I died of fright; Room number 187. Ironic I was the 187th one.
Son, for sure that was a blissful day;
When bawling you were passed into our arms,
To be creators of this fragile babe,
To hold another being's captive charm,
As no scriptures will record these miracles,
So let me pen some worthy notes of praise,
So in my age I'll look again and smile,
Re-living moments of fantastic times:
That you were born to us in perfect form;
That you had too been blessed with sturdy health;
That you did in your youngest years stay calm;
And did not seek to grow too soon to man;
That you did keep that loving child in you;
Who still would seek the comfort of our arms;
That you did hold that honest bargain true;
We, supportive parents of respectful child;
You, toiling consciously for our desires;
That you did heed those lessons that we shared;
Born from a wisdom of advanced years;
That you found time to light up hearts with care;
Whom fate had made less fortunate than yourself.
So that, on graduation day you did move all,
Who felt the artistry in your recital,
As black caps rained and cheers flew high,
Our hearts were filled with overwhelming pride.
When my light goes out
Another name is reborn
After years of stardom
Reputation is dethroned
But one thing I know
I will never fade out
This name is resurrecting soon
I will stand on my own pedestal
Every light centers on me
Everyone will look up
As I shine so bright and amazed
How I light up the galaxy
Reach the peak of brightness
Till everybody will know
What domination is all about
What is mine is mine
It will be taken away
But it will go back
To where it rightfully belongs
That light will find its way
Heading to my grave
Will shine too soon
Brighter than ever before
Till I'll become a legend
Of everybody's mouth

I love the huge tree with all it's lights, the bright colors light up the cold nights. My aunt's special gift, always gave me a holiday lift. A little box was waiting just for me, every year was $5.00 not a bee. First year married she went crazy with two gifts each, my husband had a nightgown of peach. He had no words~no speech, for the name tag I did reach.

Note: This really did happen.
My aunt put the wrong name on the tag/box.
We laughed until we cried.
When I called her,
she could not believe she had done it.
We laughed about it until she pasted away.
It made that Christmas and each year there after.
Hey K I still recall what you did in secret places
In distant lands unknown you brought me home
My diamond of Czechia Kelly I want you more
I love you more
I need you more
Your eyes light up like raging storms of pure bliss
Your amazing crazy mind explores my deepest secrets
Your amazing hands craft things never seen in this world yet
You are my diamond of Czechia
I yearn for you sweet angel
I seek for you sweet Czechia my body burns to embrace you
I ache to know you more
Heavy is my dream to embrace you in all your ways
You are my path my every wish is you my every breath is yours
Eyes like God you light up my faith in Love
Sweet morning light you whisper into my soul songs of rebellion
My hands wrapped around you in deep exploration I kiss your every essence
Only Czechia do I seek my Kamca who whispers deep
You are my only desire all else may burn
I trust in sweet Kami diamond over all else
We had just finished reading Twas the Night Before Christmas
“Good Night children.” Their mom and I said.
“Wait a minute Dad…something’s not right. We live in Florida.” Our eldest son said.
“It’s too warm down here for the reindeer.” (Our second son said sounding defeated). “How does Santa deliver the presents if all his reindeer become overheated?”
“There’s no snow, it’s not cold and we have no chimney.” (This statement was made by our daughter) “How does Santa deliver presents to those of us who live on the water.”
I looked at my wife and smiled…my hands thoughtfully covering my mouth. “You mean we’ve never told you”, I said sitting down, “how Santa delivers presents to the south?"
“Santa’s reindeer love to fly…high across the winter sky they soar…but even they get tired so when Santa’s sleigh reaches our shore he gives his reindeer a break on the beach with some suntan lotion and a bale of hay…and hooks up nine Florida dolphins who take over guiding his sleigh.”
“Thank you for helping all my dolphin friends!” each year Santa happily exclaims.
Then one by one they smile and nod as Santa Claus calls them by name.
On Aqua, on Ocean, on Brooke, on Marina…Noelani are you ready for me?
On Splash, on Delta, on Raindrop…it's time to guide me out over the sea.”
“Over and under the sea we will swim…look smart, please stay in two rows…and when it gets too dark to see out there…on Coral…please light up your nose.
“You see Santa is very resourceful.” Dad said…”I hope you now understand…how he can deliver his presents on the water as easily as on the land.”
“Many children all over the world see Santa and his reindeer and instantly believe...but only the children in Florida see Santa and his dolphins on Christmas Eve.”
If you look out your window tonight you might see…on the water…in the moon light arise...a sleigh pulled by nine dolphins, Santa in short sleeves with sunglasses covering eyes.
And if you're lucky you even might hear him exclaim as he and his dolphin drive out of sight.
Happy Christmas to all the children in Florida…
and to all the children in Florida…
a good night.

I can still remember visiting a small musical town,
a young boy holding his hat and singing his heart out for money.
His love for music was heart warming,
John was this little fellow's names.
He wore a big smile with big blue eyes,
as he walked and greeted each visitors.
A few years later I went back to that small musical town,
John had gown into a teen.
He was still singing his heart out,
but now he played a flute.
Over the years I traveled to many towns,
some how John was always on my mind.
One day a friend asked me about John,
then we decided to take a trip.
Could we even find John she asked?
The town had not changed,
but John had.
John was much older with gray in his hair,
playing an organ grinder and singing away.
He realized me right away,
we hugged like old times.
I see you have a different musical instrument,
John's face light up with pride.
His dad was the last organ grinder in town,
when he died~John had to carry on.
John and his dog Blue carry on for his dad,
the town and visitors still enjoy his musical talents.
The life of the party- they say,
so quick to join in every plan,
with bright eyes that light up his face-
a smile that will soon draw you in.
There always, to help as a friend-
quick giving up time to appease;
and wearing that big smile that says
I'm happy- on top of the world.
But then, in the darkness of night-
when no one's around to perceive,
the loneliness that fills his heart-
rolls down from his eyes as sad tears.
The face of a clown shows outside
with bright eyes that light up his face;
a smile that will soon draw you in-
the life of the party- they say.
But really, a clown lives within;
he stands by the shore of the lake-
fake happiness wearing him out-
too hard to go on with the show.
The clown at the abyss now stares-
eyes dull- and no smile on his face;
calm water glows bright neath the moon-
and into death's peace- he is drawn.
His cell phone now rings- he responds;
the words that he hears give him pause.
"Hey, Buddy, where are you tonight?
This party's so dead without you!"
