Santa put away his sleigh,
As the sun came up on Christmas Day.
It's time for the Reindeers to celebrate,
They sang "Away in a Manger" and ate Christmas cake....

put away the past
and your broken dreams
winter is fading quickly
now comes your spring
open up your heart
see the happiness it brings
wants of yesterday
were not all they seemed...

Close The Curtain Why ?

it started to rain on the night that we first decided
we staked a mortal claim toward the things we put away
strapped in the blinds pull back the initial alarm...

And also, I love you,
He said.
To ease the tension
After telling me how I don't
Put away the compost,
I don't water the plants,
How I forget to wash the dishes.
And also, he smiled lovingly....

memories in bubble wrap
carefully put away
bring them out and look at them
on a rainy day

some are happy, some are sad
I look at some and smile
wondering why it didn't last
as they are refiled...

i know he
just wiped
his nose
while he
coughed
and then
put away
that
shopping
cart

so let me
pick another
while i pick
my nose and
wonder is
that other
person
watching
me because
i'm also

paranoid...

I've been yearning
to know the winds routine
I've learnt your skyward motion
put away your chemise
unburden your soul
soon you will be sailing
running aground
is there disarray
to cut away this old boulder ?

Do not be deceived
Once I am conceived
I have been given life
So put away that knife
Please don't go and abort me
Just because you want to be free
Please let me be your boy or girl
Please let me be apart of your world...

On the road again, just like dear old Willy Nelson
Methinks it's time to settle down, it's really hard on my melon
Time to put down roots
Put away my boots
And enjoy the attention of my loving sweet harem...

Have put away my sleigh, snow's all disappeared
We all react differently, some cheer, some jeer
I'm in the “former” category
From distant Alpha Centauri
4.37 light-years from us, that's definitely not near!...

I wait and pace the floor again
what else is there for me?
In jail because I had no home
and so could not be free.

Even after the law is put away
in jail I must remain,
for tho I've done not one thing wrong
the law remains the same....

There was an anthill that got in my way.
I politely told them to leave that day.
Move on! Be festive. 
And I shall let you live.
I put away the spray, and they obeyed.

It all tastes like
Brown manila
Rusty tools

Fading, planes escape into
Lily pad clouds
Shrinking yellow rays stroll
Across dusty floors
Arthritic Autumn smoke
Sweet in
Forgotten drawers opened
Far away
Put away in
Brown manila envelopes...

Unaltered 
One’s true self
Altered in Faith
To be your best
Emotions… memories
Unaltered, without peace
Altered in Faith
Emotions and memories
Are boxed and put away
Unaltered 
Will return another day
Keep the Faith

In a picture she looks young
Beautiful caramel hair
Green eyes that light-up and dance
His love once romanced

In a picture she looks old
Shiny platinum blonde thin hair
Green eyes that are now fatigued
His love put away  ...
