Christmas Day enjoyed
Frankincense Gold

Naturals of purity

Then understand
Victorious woman xantippe

Did the Holy Family leave it all behind, when they fled?
Did they barter the gold to invest in a comfy baby bed?
Did Mary use frankincense for calm aromas to waft in?
Did they keep the myrrh for His burial without a coffin?...

fabulous frankincense feel ---

the touch of woman
so sensual alluring
softer than cotton

the smell of her so
natural fragrant 
full of frankincense
 
and I love the love
of the love of a woman
God’s  Holy woman

A lagoon on the wings of a butterfly
  Jasmine, myrrh and frankincense flutter by
Shadows bury secrets of forests deep
  Pond's ripples extend beyond water's sleep

Ere the season dons new make-up reluctantly
  Embrace its effervescence ineluctably...

Born in love of bedtime summer breeze
There I see those eyes of welcoming smile
It's sore, never last a gooodbye
Her lips like my paradise
Captive by her precious scent
Gently stroke her evanescence
Oh God, like a myrrh to frankincense
My sweet lovely ambiance....

Lord, your heart is gold
  and it’s lavender
O’ how so fragrant and beautiful
   you are, you are;
Sweet as frankincense you’re abundant
Manna full
Graces gold, Alleluia!!!

All bowed before the newborn
In that stable forlorn
Shepherds and their beasts
And the magi from the east
The noble men of wealth
Concerned about his heath
Gave gifts of myrrh, frankincense and gold
Gifts his tiny hands could not hold
And at the centre of this scene
Slept the young King serene...

Wont you set me ablaze?

Hurl me up high;
Let me burst into flames;
Let me break out into sparks, into rays;
Burning away all my grief and my shame;
The shackles the leash like the keys of a cage;

Until

I am

Light.



I am: 

A phoenix trapped in hollow suns
The frankincense of tabernacles....

Listen to poem:

Moon girl Father's precious Jewel ;
Daughter of Pearls, so pure :
Life above the vexed world;
 Angel tolls coils scents of lavender ;
Righteous role Heavenly hope;
Myrrh frankincense cinnamon pearls;
A Mother's joy, Father's girl;
Hallelujah

Manger

Miniatures to touch.
Messiah’s cradle where
many came to worship.
Magi bearing gifts of
myrrh, frankincense and gold.
Minders of field and flock,
make haste to the new king.

A man of God is a priceless treasure

Worth more than frankincense or myrrh

A man of God is the fairest in the land

Who can behold his beauty?

Inner strength

Exuding peace

A simple harmony

Fully reliant upon his Lord

A man of God is a precious commodity

As he journeys to the heart of his Creator

Once upon a time,
There was a mysterious kingdom,
Full of green vegetation,
Rich treasures and exotic animals.
People traded gold, ebony, 
Ivory and frankincense,
With ancient Egypt.
It was a prosperous land,
Thousands of years ago.
But then something may have happened!
In that faraway land,
To that incredible civilization.
Nobody knows, 
IT VANISHED!...

Laying out
the body
and 
them

they  have released 
polite glances
promising touches
and words for lean against

neither polyvinyl chloride windows
couldn't prevent
stupidity
from entrance

you are forcing your exhausted tears 
on 
kneeling over the cheeks

screenplays  remain  consistent
only the pawns alternate

it is noon...
... even Satan needs God to survive...

Pink petals and green leaves
Frankincense fragrance with ocean's whiff
The sun's rays lay roses
Spring walks in while the bird coos
The crops dance along to welcome the love,
Shades of sky witness the fun.
The earthlings however still asleep,
Dreaming of rainbows and cloudy cream.
The church bell marks the arrival of peace
Happiness blossoming, adding beauty to a once lost street....

‘Tis the season with all the scents
Like thistle leaves of pine ferments
Burning logs sweet frankincense

A season of reflective white 
whimsical feathered snowy bright
Crystals shape an eyes delight

To treasure kindred interludes
A time of blessed fortitude
questing for in perpetude

Peering through shadow window panes
A glimpse of heaven I do claim
Grasping onto seasons Reign...

December resonates throughout the earth
Echoing the advent, the holy birth, of a
Child long ago with frankincense, myrrh and gold, He
Embraced a life of charity and sacrifice, if all be told
Miracles he performed; many lives He has reformed
Blessed is the season and the spirit which has
Engaged the whole world in a conspiracy of love, as we
Remember that child born to save the souls of everyone...

Star
Rises
In the east, 
The three magi, 
Scholars from afar
Follow its guiding light
Over hills and through deserts
To a small town called Bethlehem, 
There pay homage to the new born king
Bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 



Written 22nd December 2020.

Wishing everyone a merry Christmas or (happy holidays) and a better new year for us all....
