Bethlehem


            On one Christmas Day,
            An exhausted camel sleeps.
            Near the Perfect King.

Evident Sui

Any proof for God is 
oxymoronic

God needs no testament,
only man

Not to be indicted,
 not to be confirmed 

Beyond all dialectic
—God is

Wayside Poetry Lines

He found a poetry lines written by the wayside 
They were lyrical pieces of elemental sweet ride 
So he hurriedly did post them
To the holy city of Bethlehem
Before he walked away full of pride

Child of Bethlehem

My sweet young child so small and mild,
For born is Bethlehem,
Under the star in the barn.

Your heart so small and wild,
Unknown to later be exiled.
For all is loving him,
Under the star in the barn.

A Pilgrimage

A Pilgrimage

Of Christ, many said they saw an image,
So to certain place went on a pilgrimage;
Were in search of,
Love from above;
Bethlehem is where they found a village.

Thanksgiving is coming soon.

Words of My Reluctance

Her book was disturbing,
  in an antiseptic kind of way

Cleansing words of their reluctance,
  periods gone—commas laid

Premium Member Do You Hear the Song

This
lovely
time 
of year,
Christmas, when
Jesus 
Christ
was born.
Angels sang
in Bethlehem;
they sing still
within
hearts
who hold
the Christ child
dear. Do
you 
hear the
song?

Do They Know It's Christmas

Shepherds from a nearby farm,
heard star sing o'er Bethlehem,
she sang hymns as cops disarm,
three unwise rob an ATM.

The First Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through Bethlehem,
Joseph was searching for a room for them
He searched and he searched all round the town
But nowhere to stay for them could be found
So they went to a stable and in a bed made of hay
The Christ child was born on the first Christmas Day

Premium Member He Was Here Before, and Is Coming Back Again

It is in black and white, and in plain view. The birth is described in the Gospel of St. Matthew. He came to save the earth and his fellow men. It was in a town called Bethlehem way back when. Jesus gave his life for us, but is coming back again. Inspired by another member's poem

What Wise Men

Finally, Wise Men did show,
They lost Bethlehem, you know,
Their queens did wait,
Moronics arrived bit late,
They forgot to deliver the afterbirth,
Now there's no Peace on Earth,
"I don't want any more pets!"
No Mary ever said, but yet,
Peace on Earth would be great
For our human race, anticipate!

The Christmas Glow

In the city of David,Bethlehem,
beaming stars spread across the sky,
lights reflecting from all nooks,
cool breeze with twinkling elements,
ramshackled stead enveloped
 with clusters of shimmers.
Baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling cloths
but engulfed with eternal glory,
the honour that abounds forever.
