Random Holidays Poems (355)

I saw you one night,
thought it was the real you,
it doesn't matter now
either way I'm still alone...

Then we touched palms,
each of us gave
a sensual map of our world,
clasping to the end of time...

The ensuing darkness,
you were the rabbit at the dog track,
elusive and deceptive
running around in circles...

Sleep only teases,
flame of unlit candle,
surreal dreams of love
became a matchstick dipped in water...

To survive, I said "I love you."
you said, "I love you too."
Perhaps just a culling song,
the deadliest of lullabies...

Separated by the hours of darkness,
the ceiling becomes the pale sky,
you milked the moonless night,
I became the crow fettered in rain...

Wordless and timeless the death of daylight,
thrown into an existence of love,
all with the ambiguity of Kirkegaard,
two saddled horses taken to a dry pond...

In this chapter of life and love,
you killed the romantic hero,
in the very first pages,
the destruction of I and thou...

There once was a love poem,
before the grass grew brown and withered,
the longing has not diminished,
just flowers and rainbows mixed with blackened storm clouds...

He flew though the sky with his eight tiny reindeer
From the bells on his sleigh I knew he was near
He came down the chimney with a groan
Then I heard a woman say
"Honey, I'm Home!"
She stood 5 feet tall
She had a figure like that Victoria Secret chick I saw at the mall
She cooked me flapjacks with bacon and toast
Then for desert
Well, I don't like to boast
We lived happily ever after
My good wife and me
Thanks to a jolly old elf who lived up north on a frozen sea

Here’s to the outgoing year, 2010:
May the good times live on in our memories,
and may we learn lessons from the troubling times
that will make us stronger and better than ever.
Here’s to 2011:
For each and every one of you,
may it be filled with significant steps
toward the fulfillment of your fondest wishes.
In this coming new year,
let us focus on our goals and work toward our dreams,
and yet (smile)
let’s all try to go with the flow a little more
and stress a little less.
And most important,
(wave glass around to encompass the whole group)
here’s to all of you.
Appreciate yourselves and each other in the new year
as I appreciate all of you now.
Let’s focus on each other’s good points

Happy New Year to everyone

Holiday Wishes To You And Yours

When the first true cold winds began to blow,
autumn soon shifted, and the first frost came.
Complaints for summer’s end were often heard,
but the year went by too fast, all the same.

So time to unpack the cold weather gear,
and yes, turn our thoughts to the holidays.
We all shall gather around the table,
to count our blessings these past weeks and days.

There’ve been challenges for many of us.
We bow our heads for each answered prayer.
We share and we speak to those we have lost.
We set a place for those who can’t be here.

May we raise a glass and offer good cheer.
May we light a candle and not forget,
all the dear ones who make life worth living.
And so speak with kindness and not regret.

May we all join hands and then our hearts,
never letting go of the peace we feel.
This is the season of faith and magic;
the LOVE we share and a God blessed meal.

A time to ponder all that is sacred;
the condition of our beliefs and soul.
A time to forgive and release with joy,
all that would prevent us from being whole.

Thank you Lord for every single blessing.
My life is a gift you hold in your hand.
When I have done what I am meant to do,
I will walk with you and I’ll understand.

Bless Us All That We Walk In Love
Ever Hand In Hand

If I could hold your hand just one more time
If I could see your face, so dear,
I would tell you Merry Christmas Daddy
'Cause Christmas time is here
I would have you put the lights up
(That is something only Daddy's do)
And put the angel on top of the tree
Then, Daddy, your job is through
Sit yourself down now and relax
While we decorate the tree
And off and on throughout the night
Maybe I'll sit upon your knee
The fire is going, don't worry Daddy
We promise not to let it get too high
Snow is coming, it'll be a white Christmas
Just take a look at that cloudy sky
Here's a plate for you Daddy
And ,oh, the aroma it brings
It's your favourite, mincemeat tarts
And they were made fit for a king
But most of all Daddy, as I kneel by your side
I would tell you how very much I love you
And how you fill my heart with pride.

The hallway creeks with every step
Like a maddening sound of whispering ghosts
I try so hard to be quiet, to be silent
But I can't because this house is so old
They say a murder happened here
An uncle that committed the ultimate sin
Killing his niece and nephew, slicing thier throats
With the glass from a broken bottle of gin
When asked to explain why, he smiled
And told the reporters it was the devils work
That he was just an innocent bystander
That he couldn't control his body as it lurked
But that was twenty years ago
And you can still see the blood stained walls
Sometimes it's as if you still can hear thier screams
Echoing down the forbidden halls
So enter if you boldly dare
There is no certainty of your return
For this house has been condemned to hell
And surely your soul will burn

Oh! Momma!

Is there really a Santa Claus?

Yes, Son there is, he is the spirit of joy!

He spreads happiness through out the world

To people of all colors and all nations

Spreading love in sad people’s hearts

Bringing them hope of the future

Bringing families closer, that have been apart

Presents for little ones to show them the way

Allowing the poor to have a happy day

Son, my present to you, is my love and good wishes …

For life’s happiness your whole life through!

Merry Christmas Son and good-night

And may all your tomorrow’s ever be bright

Dream of Santa’s presents that he will bring you tonight!

I love you!

God bless America the Queen and Mother Nature
The Earth Stars Galaxy waters and land
Different Countries Cultures Opportunities Adventures
The Melting Pot Harvest Of Gold
Presented to us to explore and behold
Parents Siblings Aunts Uncles Nieces Nephews
Grandparents great grand children babies and senior citizens
From here to eternity the cycle of life
Turkey Ham vegetables cranberry sauce wine and juice
Time to get together and celebrate
I am thankful for my health
Jobs friends music entertainment trailerhood
My eighty five year old parents still alive and kicking
My brother the scholar the poet the renaissance man
My sister the computer geek the Spock of the family
The conversations experiences shared moments stories of life
Last week I had this conversation with my parents
I apologized to them for all the wrong choices I have made
Certainly was not afraid to strike out on my own
I guess that is the learning process
My father said son get over it
My mother replied "Son you have grown, Certainly our destiny
is determined by the decisions we make, You are making the right
decisions now and I am proud of you"
I cried
Happy Thanksgiving to all
Blessings and love always

Sending out my yearly Christmas cards
One to my landlord
One to my godmother who is 98
Send one to my mom who is 13 miles from me
Sister, aunt, brother
California, New York City, Wisconsin, Illinois
I see only two of these people
All the rest I only get in touch by facebook or just the card
Mine this year is the same as last year
Snoopy decorating the Christmas tree

See the two birds soar
weightless in the wind,
floating like the butterfly
forever and ever to ascend
shrinking in sky so heavenly blue...

Blue for me,
blue for you...

Towards the sun they glide,
streaming in the autumn breeze,
effortlessly in undisputed flight,
while we stroll below them in our ease
along our garden path...

You pick a flower for me,
and I one for you...

Soft petals descend into the wind,
we wish for our own wings to fly,
like the gulls above us flapping feathers,
for now we can only gaze and sigh
that our love will carry us away...

A feather floats down for me,
and a soft downy one for you...
