Monica Engeler Poem
Welcome Christmas
It is getting colder and colder outside
Winter is coming around the corner
and so is Christmas with all its pride
I promise it won't be getting warmer.
The nights are long and silent nowadays
Could Clause be riding his sleigh this night,
Or the coming of a snow storm be this way,
Maybe Santa is checking his list to be right?
I look above in the evening light for the thrill,
of Christmas to begin and ring in happy melodies.
Once again, and for a moment, I feel the cold chill
Warming me as I hear the beautiful chimes harmony.
Peace enfolds the world with glowing stars above
Yes, Christmas has come again with all its amazement
And the magic that brings the hope of course of love.
Welcome Christmas as the world awaits in enjoyment.
One more time the Christmas tree lights shine bright
Gifts are passed around with words of great esteem
Yes, Father Christmas was here once again over night
Merry Christmas one and all and a good eve.

Monica Engeler Poem
Tonight I plan to go out and enjoy my time
With some folks of mine that love red wine
There is no reason to say where we go
It could be a bar, or maybe my own home.
I just want to steal away somewhere no one cares
And enjoy a glass of wine that all wish to share
I need a small vacation that lets me relax my mind
Just being alone doesn’t let me unwind.
I beg all of you to come and convey this with me
Hello my associates, why are you strangers to be
Come over there is so much to pass around
I want to take your time that was not found.
Maybe a Merlot, a Cabernet, or Burgundy for you
You see I have them all, and they are all very true.
If my home is not good enough, we could go to the bar,
And order a beer or a glass of Champaign which lasts far.
Anyway the night is young and my pallet is still dry
I would walk far to have a group of my kin nearby
No, loneliness is not good enough, today and evermore
My wine awaits me this moment more and more.
At last I heard a drum beating far away
A beautiful melody played a song this way
My friends heard my cry and were marching forth
How I smiled with joy and sang along of course.
The song continued to chant well into the night
With many toasts of happiness crossing the sight
My kin called me a lover of red wine filled with desire
It was a heavenly group that I shared with and admired.
When the moment came to an end
We parted giggling loudly around the bend
My wishes of a night with red wine came true
And all who came and left were not just a few.
Good night I will remember my companions well
You gave me a holiday that I can awake and retell
Farewell and goodbye until we toast another time
My lips are wet now and experienced great wine.

Monica Engeler Poem
I stood in front of the finest white horse
It looked at me all energetic to carry forth
Suddenly, a new spark of life took its course
As one, we rode to a place that is lovingly worth.
Your eyes are so open and ready to go onward
See on, and ride with me, you know where to go
The wind is blowing your mane forward
Everything is alright now and in the right row.
As the horse road on, I sang a song of joy and desire
I will go with pride and never have evil prevail
I want to know where the answers of love will fire
Show me the road and where replies won’t fail.
The horse carried me back in time that was only free
Life was filled with happy smiles and no sorrow
One looked in time and saw only moments at ease
Like a bird that wanted to be solemn and had no woe.
I see loving visions in my eyes as I ride on in time
My wishes are focused open now for only you
I would be so lost and alone if I had no pure sign
And I know my heart can show me the right view.
Now that I have found my way, I will stay in this zone
I can never go alone no matter how much I wish to
When I move forward I will no longer be on my own
See me, I travel on and I am no longer without you.

Monica Engeler Poem
I offer my fiddle for your pleasures
My music will certainly be a treasure
Come and dance to the lands folk lore
The beat locks a partner you will adore.
One two three, one two three tap, tap, tap
A step here and a step there is a real rap
The country fiddler’s bow plays forever joy
A unique sound concerts the floor like a toy.
One by one the stage filled with artists dancing
My fiddle is a smashing hit for this one evening
When the song and prance at last came to an end,
The listeners asked for an encore of the jazzy trend.
Around the twelfth hour, I played the final tone
A young man bowed adieu and left me all alone
How sad to see such a superb evening exist in
I lay my instrument down and into a secure bin.
When I settled to go, an admirer smiled at me.
He passed me a rose and a kiss for all to see
Thank you for the beautiful melodies tonight
The crowd and I will leave feeling alright.
Your welcome, I promise to come before long.
When I see the floor full of dancers akin to song,
My heart cries to play more tunes for all to hear.
Now I say goodbye and leave seeing no tears.

Monica Engeler Poem
Yellow, red, blue, orange, magenta, purple, and green
are the colors of a perfect rainbow.
These hues flicker like a beautiful bow.
Yes, this is the valley of castles, riches and dreams.
Knights with shields and armor protect this terrain
No one may enter or leave the valley unknown.
Those who cross the river will be rightfully known.
The magic of the rainbow guards all who are not sane.
One day two children displeased the palaces folk
and went away from the land of rainbow
They trekked over the waters high and low,
both progenies searched for gold and playful foe.
When the cavaliers held the children on kingly property
they took them to the palace for penance.
It was a sorry moment for these two adolescents
there young remorseful grins granted them sympathy.
The country of colorful rainbows and circumstance
beckon all who enter with stories of treasures.
Those who leave have memories of great adventures,
But the power of the rainbow brightens only the prominence.

Monica Engeler Poem
I want to wish you a Happy Birthday
It was the day that you were born
Birthday oh Happy Birthday is the day.
Come see all the presents on the table
There is also a cake with many candles
It is a happy day for all that are able.
Happy, Happy Birthday my good friend
It is a time that comes only once a year
Enjoy the moment till it comes to an end.
You see the lights are still fiery on the cake
There waiting for you to blow them out
Please will you do your part and stay awake.
No tears please not allowed on this occasion
I know age grows older on this event
Why I don’t know, time doesn’t go on vacation.
So happy salutes to you on your moment
Cherish the time it will never return
Celebrate, give, smile and try to be consent.
The lights are finally out on your cake,
And all the gifts were ripped open
All seemed to end in a sudden break.
Happy Birthday and hope you enjoyed the day
No more presents and no more wishes
Now one has to grow and see what comes this way.

Monica Engeler Poem
Faraway I heard the whistle of a flute
Playing a beautiful symphony
It echoed along with the flow of air
I closed my eyes without any care
And enjoyed all the harmony
I studied the songs roots
Then I realized it was from another place
Celtic visions floated dreamy tunes
That I could just sway and dance along
Now I had to just find the words to the song.
Can you tell me and I will share them soon
Only lovely melodies flowed without a words trace.
Hand in hand waltzed the black notes insight
My heart entwined the rhythm of yesteryear
Which was just longing for the togetherness of reality?
So gracefully played the flute that there was no uncertainty
Come friend and together we will cry a joyful cheer
Will you promise me that I will hear things right?
One can only assure that there will be nothing wrong
A long the way and far off the creation grew
The flute whistled endless notes of tranquility
And the blowing wind just purified the tendency
It was almost magic caring a tune that was new
Which just leaves you in an endless dream of song?
Please don’t ever stop playing those wonderful refrains
You call music and the world will always listen
The wind will carry the call over and over for you
Dance around a bit and all about will be true
I tell you personally no one will even have to beckon
Your talents for any moment even for an abstains.
A road journeys long adventures waiting for a reply
But a musician listens for the melody to play
In a band or for a solo viewer that will hear him to the end
I wish upon a star for tomorrows to come around the bend
The wind has finally calmed down for a day
And the flute was placed away for another time.

Monica Engeler Poem
I circled the world in a point of time
And I discovered the story
Of Christopher Columbus’s lifetime
You know, he was born in Italy in 1451?
Young Chris sailed the seas as a felon
Attacking the ships of Moors,
But sadly his vessel was a sunken
Luckily he knew how to swim ashore.
Chris and his brother joined together,
And then he married happily
His wife’s father gave him registers
That all positioned toward the Atlantic.
Dreams for new lands were not far away
Across the seas they would set sail
To see worlds that would be new that day
And bring news that would change humanity.
First permissions were reject for the Indies
Then loving eyes died shortly afterwards
Leaving a son, so he sailed for the Spanish seas
And once more nobility refused his traveling ideas.
There was another wife and yet another child
In the shadow of time were more denials
His needs for finance seemed lost and wild
When a priest put forward for his sake and won.
Chris found his way together with his sons
And three ships that set sail for the Indies
Santa Maria flowed proudly in the setting sun
The Pinta, and The Nina followed closely behind.
The final voyage with vivid eyes showed the way
In 1492 Columbus sailed to the Canaries,
And the Sargasso Seas guided false passageway
Mutiny, anger and violence almost ruined the trip.
Alas the ideas of India and China came into view
Though the Santa Maria sank into the sea
The New World had been discovered by the few
It is now time to go home and spread the great news.
The journey has found a new world for the future
And the human race will now circle the globe
Ships will come and develop a land that is ever pure
Together the new lands will stand fourth as one big world.

Monica Engeler Poem
Day by day I dream of other ways
I wish for the world to smile in peace
and solve the answers of world hunger
how I vision for a bigger and a brighter day?
Oh happy days are not far from here
I dare and challenge the public to be one
No more unhappy thoughts to travel far
Come shake my hand without any fear.
One by one the war makers removed their guns
the good boys all came home from the barracks
Left over debris was cleaned from harm’s way
And saddened teardrops are now almost none.
Oh happy day when there are no lost shadows
The heavenly skies have returned to a brilliant blue
Yes there are people in the land who help the hungry
No one needs to remain abandoned and left shallow.
How I dream that these thoughts come true one day
Time remains on your side and it never stops ticking
maybe I will awake from my dreams to a better life
now I dream for tomorrow and another happy say.

Monica Engeler Poem
There are two glasses of wine on the stand
One for me and the other for somebody dear
Time ticks slow waiting for him to be near
Sadly nobody seems to be coming at hand.
Outside the sun fades away for the day
Night awakens with the moon and stars
My heart cries unaided for you to be afar
No calls or quests were left from you today.
I empty one glass of red wine for comfort
The solitary cup remains for his return home
One can only wonder weather he is alone
Maybe these thoughts will only be an effort.
Desolately I dimmed the lights in the room
Why can’t you come home and be with me
I have been waiting for a long time you see
You left me once, twice would be too soon.
I closed my eyes only to dream of yesterday
You cradled me gently in your arms all night
A whisper of kindness assured me all is alright
When I would wake, your smile came my way.
Gently a soft voice upset my restless sleep
I shrugged it off and kept sleeping sound
Then a kiss forced me to turn around
A man stood before and I could only weep.
The lonely wineglass was now no longer full
Two unfilled glasses stood facing each other
And a couple walked off with one another
Sorry the story has to end, life is no longer dull.
