Triples you recognize
Gold, frankincense, myrrh
His, him, her
Bubbles, Blossom, Buttercup
All my threes are now used up
Ancient birthday
Christmas Day enjoyed
Frankincense Gold
Humbled in Jesus
Kings largesse myrrh
Naturals of purity
Question rushed shopaholics
Then understand
Victorious woman xantippe
Your
Zeal

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?
real or blue reel
looks like plastically fixed ---
blue-lit miracle
flies feel fancy-filled
butterflies play hide and seek ---
marvel of autumn?
fine flawless fragrance
fabulous frankincense feel ---
bees go hysteric
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
Form:
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

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
Written by Gwendolen Rix

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!
T-shirt three times too big, that fails half way down my thighs.
Bare face, not a trace of makeup to hide beneath.
Hair unbound, falling down my back in waves.
Combing through that hair dark as black coffee.
Hair smelling of soft, sweet violet, with a hint of Frankincense and smoky Myrrh.
Looking in the mirror, seeing the most real you that most don’t get the chance to see.
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.
Love your beautiful through your soul;
Your tempest view liken the horizon;
Your arms and hand like rose petals flowing in the wind;
You speak like a robins sings;
Also your breath smells of frankincense;
pageant pine velvet;
hollow are your ear, they await the God's quiet whispers;
Soul your beautiful love you are;
A awesome beautiful picture from God;

Frankincense
Incense
And
Half burnt candle's
X 3
In a Triangular Circle
A good luck potion
To appease
The Gods
He knew not he robbed
All he wronged
For fear he was cursed
He sought magic to reverse
The silk purse of bad tiding
Sick to death of hiding
From being endlessly put upon
Rejection and misfortune
Chant and charm
By sweaty palm
Be gone
Flickering flame
Lest my Demons
Be Slain
Take me to Part 3' domain
Spirit-fed,
came three who thus were led
by the star the Scriptures had foretold.
With faith they journeyed onward that they might behold
the One for whom they bore frankincense, myrrh and gold.
Those who brought these gifts were men most wise.
They found in a child’s eyes
Hope’s own prize!
Matt: 2: 9-11 (all of chapter 2 in fact, deals with the
visit of the wise men.)
