One Merry Christmas Or Another
Will this Christmastime be the best one you’ve had?
Will it be a joy and Feliz Navidad?
Will it be an endurance of familial hell,
Or peace and goodwill and a Joyeux Noël?
Is visiting kinfolk at Yuletide quite risky,
Or thrilling and Felicem Natalem Christi?
Are you certain that your days will be exciting and full;
An unforgettably happy and festive God Jul?
Are your Christmases dismal or times to remember?
Do you try your utmost for a Krismasi Njema?
Or do you prefer to keep everything low,
Instead letting others have a Maligayang Pasko?
Whatever it means to you when comes the day:
A tedious trial or Giáng Sinh Vui Ve?,
I wish you peace wherever you’re goin’,
Happiness, joy and Nadolig Llawen.

I would like dark chocolate, but I need you
Cadbury alone won't do
I'll climb the Himalayan for you, because
When I'm with you, really with you
Grand Central can come in, yet fade thin, as
I bask with touch of you
Fierce, yet mild well-rounded honeybee
A die-hard Christian man forever, because,
From Okinawa to Timbuktu,
History's fiercest touch to your faith you've faced.
You're continental, universal
Unforgettably cultural
You're my drug of choice
Sweet chocolate could sedate one's voice
But you! You're not terribly sweet
Your bitter changes to firm treat,
Then I know for sure,
You're my Don Juan.

“Love is like a rose. When pressed between two lifetimes, it will last forever.” – Anonymous
In vast wilderness of emerald summer, rose blossoms brightness,
Like the moon's latterly visits, in pearly, glimmering contriteness.
Her scent lingers in the hearts and minds, of those who knew her,
Through the precious and golden days, gone by in a piquant blur.
Grace, beauty, and cool elegance, in a thousand delicate shades,
Swirling and dancing in silent places, that honeyed sun pervades.
Unforgettably luscious and languid, visitor to many dreamy hours,
Pursuing on a winding path to eternity, with odd, hypnotic powers!

We all create something unforgettably beautiful
We all create an end of course that is more about humans and personal development which features educational involvement
We sacrifice ourselves to help others as we remain in touch of support, push and altruistic doing that we sometimes forget ourselves
Time and effort remains the brace of thoughts which worries tend to swift away from
We remain adventurous and appreciate time as we rise
We sometimes sink to the bottom with our hearts turning to stones and share stories of personal cases
With a spark we create magic and jump over thresholds, finding ourselves friends like people who knew each other for ages
What we learned is to build trust and unity, promising that what is said in the circle will remain in the circle
Emotionally we are built to never be apart and to remain in unison with the greatness of jams to the all night long music and embrace our stepping into risk as we continue to live on

Night turning into day by a simple kiss
A soft touch upon your lips of nonresistance
The taste of lipstick a flavor unknown
My tongue playing tag with yours
Wandering fingers and roaming hands
Buttons unsnapping air releasing with breath
Intense feelings capturing our passion
An unforgettably night of romance
A simple knock at your door a rose in hand
Dinner and a moonlit night with stars peeking through the clouds
Light rain drops tapping upon our table
One glass of wine and I knew you were mine
Now, as I open my eyes a clear sight
You are in my arms
"This was for a contest, dummy me it was supose to be a rhyme lol"

Inspired to present its essence wondrously
along endowed poetic prowess midst words’ magnificence
my heart indites through light, free, or blank verse prayerfully
furthermore in spiritual rhymes, illumined by divine iridescence…
With triumphant love of God, I am propped to proclaim constantly
His awesome kindness as well as gracious compassion-sense
gripping my soul before I turned 19 in 1988, unforgettably…
when by faith I indeed experienced His very presence.
Yes, Christ’s love* prevails over my writing themes gloriously
having been loaded with His mercy and truth of caring prevalence
thus, witnessing His love beyond the 9-11-2018 global news historically
I penned a declaration to exalt my God, thanking Him for His love’s opulence.
*Ephesians 3:19 …Know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.

As we pass through life,
most of the people we meet
simply splash off us like raindrops,
ephemeral and inconsequential;
many become casual acquaintances,
very few become life-long friends.
Then there are those unique ones
we come to know who re-define
our chemistry, who deepen our perceptions,
our insights and our feelings, and help
us to see colors more clearly
than ever before.
You are very special,
and I thank the spirits, whatever they may be,
for the opportunity to be your friend.
'Friendship is a Multitude.'
Thank you always
and unforgettably
for yours.

In the bathroom where you
could not hear the drips of water
Temperature rises as you
suddenly appear from behind
The touch of your hand
rushes over my body as
we kiss with intensity and
made the whole night
unforgettably ours
We have no shower to pour
on our bodies but our
sweats ignite and kindle
the moments of love
As you give me the last kiss
I know it’s not a goodbye
But it’s a beautiful magic
We make most out of it

Feeling the air in a wide endless road,
Driving the highways with a bunch heavy load
Shouting things out in a dusty back seat,
Gazing the seas with massive lot fleet
Breeze from the ocean was what we all smell,
Haunted woods in forest were what we all tell.
We sit like a royal in a luxurious car
Playfully pretending that it was our own car
Treasure this moment that I’ll never forget
Hear different strings of music from a windy fret.
Spend this time with me in an awesome ride
Sooner we can’t do this coz you’ll be a loyal bride.
Feel this moment in an endless road,
It only happens once in our stories of unfold.
Shout out loud while wind sonorously screams
This happy joyride is unforgettably one of my dreams.

It all started in a one cool game,
Looking those eyes was so lovely to claim.
Your scent of sweat reminds me so much,
I was secretly staring while searching nothing in my pouch.
Your smile lightens my whole dark world,
Brighten my day like a one luxurious gold.
Then you looked at me when I said something good,
Secretly crushed seeing those naked eyes better than so good.
I don’t know so much more about you,
Attraction is what I so much feel for you.
You totally look bad having those cursive tattoos,
You are all well respected wearing those leather shoes.
Can’t expect for something even more,
Those sweet smiles own by someone forevermore.
Maybe things should end up on this little feeling…
Crushing you is unforgettably sizzling.

Sonnet, you beckon me with your allure.
Valiant ship from a distant shore
Resting, no more sojourn
Basking in glory of a distant past
Lowered mast once battered and blown
An emblem of pride and place
From boundless rushes, to a windless pace
Now laid bare of all innocence
Meekly, humbly retired
All aboard was the captain’s word
As the crew came rushing on
With hands on decks and the compass set
To carve a story not yet heard
A seafarers’ life of no regrets
While cavaliers seek their bounty
And fortune favours the brave
You set sail from old Blighty
Sending the good and mighty
To watery graves
Now in retirement you bask and bathe
As the tides doth ebb and flow
Rising and descending your mood does shift
Whilst along your flanks assorted remnants drift
In the silted bed of the Thames your now reside
Dancing to the rhythm of a seasonal tide
Whilst aboard, there is a tossing and a turning
In the warmth of comfy beds
Lays the bodies of weary heads
Painted lady, red, gold and green
On my canvas you are drawn
As on the pages I do scribe
Of a beauty and a guile
Never to be erased from my memory
For your dye is truly cast,
Unforgettably.

The Loch Ness water
I went down by the lake,
Stumbling across the rocks,
My eyes fail to see if it was fake,
Rocks made of blocks.
What does my daddy do,
He creeps up behind me,
Slaps my head with his shoe
Now I can see!
Is that a monstrous branch?
I opened my eyes fully wide,
I swore the water’s became an avalanche,
In a trench is now where I hide.
The sun is getting hotter,
I glimpse at it closer, still it's faraway,
Whatever it is, it is in my water,
I wash up the next day by the bay.
A heavy rock,
I lay under the shade,
The world is not round, it is a block,
I live now, not afraid. “I’m not afraid!"
Scotland yard has nothing on me,
Unforgettably Nessie was really me.
