Blossoming Flowers, In the Thicket of Time

Blossoming flowers that grow in the thicket of time 
Valentine cards carefully written growing ageless with time   
In loving care with the moon,  
a glowing cupid darts about with spriteful aim   
shooting gold tip arrows full of magic     
targeting Valentine souls of the world, 
when they are hit, they don't stand a chance!

Sweet chocolate candies and black bow ties 
grins that say, I loved you from the very start 
Forever your heart holds the key 
in this sweet aftertaste there is never any haste 
when it comes to love, take your time !
The comings and goings of passion need simmer,   
for its only through long lasting bonds
that they glimmer and shine !

Santa Claus

Imagining Santa Claus with unlimited age
Prehaps young and spriteful or aging and gray
Is he actually elderly or youthful like us? 
Or outwardly aged but inwardly young

And what is the reason of him growing a Beard
For Beardlessness will not make him less dear
What for are the wrinkles and snow white hair
Does he need to show signs of wear?

So why does the image portray him in Red?
Why can’t it be orange,deep purple or Gray
Or Blue of the Sky or Gold like the sun
Or Polka dot,Spotted or even a stripe

Premium Member What I See

Delightful, spriteful
Whimsical, mightful
Mansical musical flash

Sharing caring
Ever bewaring
Soulful and careful and rash

Bewildered when innocence clashes with power
Unsure the brilliance that sparks what you are
So much to give for so much to desire
Hurricanes threaten to put out the fire

Moving, grooving
Ever behooving
Angry, heroic and bright

Joyful toyful
My what a boyful!
Defiantly cheering the night.
