Santa’s Seeing Red

Late one evening up at the pole
Santa was watching TV
He shook his head as he started for bed
After seeing how people could be
All night long he tossed and turned
I guess he just couldn’t...

Could we see and hear and feel and think better
more ubiquitously and cooperatively
and inclusively
if DreamTime speaks in naturally eco-logical language
of motion as emotions
co-empathically accessible
to all RNA/DNA informated
integratively regenerative
co-arising ecosystemic Ego-programs?

In our dreams
we all speak the...

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there

The children...

It was Christmas Eve, not a soul made a sound,
And not so much as a mouse could be found,
The children had hung their stockings on the hearth,
As a quiet, peacefulness gently fell upon the Earth,

The Gift of Christmas

Some people say Christmas in this present time
Wanders lost
Through flashing ads and tinsel carelessly strung
On an artificial bough.

Some people say the Spirit of Christmas
Lives no more -
The simple Christ Child’s birth
Coldly mocked...

The Gift

Some people say Christmas in this present day
Wanders lost
In ads and tinsel carelessly strung
Upon an artificial bough;
Some people say the Christmas spirit
Lives no more -
The simple Christ Child’s birth
Coldly mocked by glittering ads
For diamond...

Twas the site before Christmas
and all through the place
All the poets were writing
happy thoughts to embrace

They sprinkled each stanza
with seasonal things
Like Santa Claus, candy canes,
five golden rings

All phrases were penned
with a holiday gleam
As sugarplums danced
in...

From reality
To fantasy
From boredom
To imaginative 
Away goes my mind
To my fantasy wonderland

I dream of not the sugarplums 
Or fairies and dragons
I dream of not just the ordinary

I dream of things out of reality 
Far from...

Big brothers, big sisters, many of whom
Had never heard the sound of children's laughter
Opening presents on Christmas morn
Planned a summer outing to a local theater

On July First, for children from ages six to thirteen
The curtain...

I ran downstairs to catch a glimpse of his face,
Just as he came down, out of the fireplace,
He was cloaked in red with a fur trimmed suit,
And covered in soot from his...

Breathing softly in my bed,
Visions of sugarplums, in my head.
Shadows hovering in the night,
Soul awakens, to take flight.
But, I won't scream.
Told not to scream.

Rough hands groping below my head,
Rough lips seeking to be fed.
No one...

I think pink is a colour for the young,
It's also the colour of our tongue and lips,
And if we are 
caucasian, even our hips.

Sugarplums, babies bums, shell-like ears are pink,
Some jewellery I think too,
Pearls, Beads...

Of all the little boys and girls
For whom you travel ‘cross the world
I’m certain I’m the best.
I didn’t shout, I never pout
Behaved myself, there is no doubt
I passed your every test.
Just check your list, now...

It’s Christmas Eve
And all through the house
Not a creature is sleeping
Not even a mouse

The stockings still hanging 
Are empty and bare
It’s just a sign that dear Santa
Still hasn’t been there

Dad’s in the living room
All full...

Green and 
Blue blotches
With no reason
Nor rhyme.
Racing, like
Purple chainsaws 
Dancing through my head
Like sugarplums
At Christmas time.
Cross-eyed acrobats
Jumping through
Twisted rings of
Nothing at all.
Feels like I'm 
Falling and cracking
Anxiously, like
Humpty Dumpty
Off the wall.
Lies, deceit, and honor
All hide...

Halloween night is supposed to be scary
Peopled by spooks and goblins, most of them hairy  
     But where I come from it's quite festive and merry

We moved back into the residence yesterday - we were jubilant - and had a slumb-over last night, to celebrate our reunification. We woke up joyous, on the right side of the same bed (slumb-over),...

Warmth and passion through the air
Emanating glow
Garlands flying everywhere
Sparkling through the snow

Cherry pie and candy canes
Sugarplums in the mist
Elves are working day and night
Santa checks his list

Children's fingers sticking tightly
From the candy treats
Heat flickers through...

Sitting here thinking
After just talking with you,
My heart no longer sinking,
I, no longer feeling blue.

Ravels bolero,
Playing ever so softly,
The flute as the nightingale, 
Such a beautiful song as it should be.

Thoughts rushing through my head,
My...
