Present Unwrapped
Present Unwrapped
Plan for tomorrow
live for today
the moment redeeming
future caches
Say what you mean
do what you say
the circle enclosing
— truth on display

No worse enemy
than an ex-friend
No better friend

Empty Promises
Caring not much
for what I haven’t seen
Deaf to those voices
still trapped in between
Caring not much
for what I

Standing underneath the tree
Set and ready, just for me
Christmas morn held my surprise
Through my half shut, sleepy eyes
There I saw this massive stand

Unwrapped
Christmas does not come in a box
Wrapped up underneath the tree.
Christmas comes in the form of love
To our friends and family.
It's not about money, ribbons and bows
... But it is about - one lovely gift
The joy our Lord gave, by sending his son
To bring joy; and our hearts to lift.
Christmas to me is the joy

Unwrapped the Uncertainties
In this massive and tilting world,
Never I considered myself as an abalone
All the birds in the sky
Soaring high
Utterly depicted me.
20 years from now
What had I become?
If I can see through the looking glass,
An entire display of my experiences
I summonly desire to see
A very best version of myself.

Unwrapped
Gonna stop, and think a few
Expose what I'm committed to
Take a closer look, and see
What it is that's running me?
Let me introduce myself

And considered quite a dish
Mostly happy, at times insane
Turn my back, so you can feel my pain
Hold you close when I hear thunder
Let you

Unwrapped Claymore
Again I bend to kiss this blade
Then face the winds of Change in steadfast resolution
Whisperings of vows long made
Spin in dizzied revolution
Old and weary wrinkles fade
In face of coming restitution
Tis now my turn to face the night
and at long last to know what's right
Freedom's been a constant fight
Worth every dancing minute
To earn a living

Nature's Gift Unwrapped By Fall
A potpourri of imagery
Is nature's gift unwrapped by fall.
Bright colors burst from every tree!
A potpourri of imagery
sparks harvesting of poetry
ere winter shows her chilling pall.
A potpourri of imagery
Is nature's gift unwrapped by fall
