Triumph Over Death
He came for humanity's sake,
Preaching love, not disunity's ache.
A pillar strong, a tower high,
He healed the oppressed, the devil's sigh.
Declared his fate, arrest, and death,
Yet on the third day, he'd find new breath.
Conquering death, the world's despair,
He arose, putting shame to crafty snare.
No need for evidence to quell my doubt,
My conviction stands, unwavering without.
Fully persuaded,...

Death Of A HeroJust because someone isn’t wearing a bandage or shows no outward sign of illness doesn’t mean that they are not.
Quote by poet.
Sam lived two doors down and kept to himself, some thought him strange,
I found out he'd been in the marines and was suffering from PTSD, he always acknowledged me with a nod and a...

Christmas Tree
*
I
am
a green
Christmas
tree aglow blinking in the
darkest night
decorated with lights and ribbons
angelic star at the top
and gifts at the base.
I see smile on each and every face
in the happy season of love
when the light of hope shines
bright and spreads the festive magic in the cold air
as the wafting snowflakes weave motifs outside
the joy of warmth from...

Within WithoutDay and night
Over my years
I watch
This full owl body carved from the light
Of wood
With its slimly painted feathers and howling eyes
Held in swooping flight
At an angle
On a string
From our family room
Ceiling
Circles in the heat of our furnace vent
Glides in its corner in summer breezes
That is beautiful enough
Its constant motion suspecting me
A mole
Watching TV
But there...

Let Love LeadMy Brethren in Christ,
I will pour out my plea.
There was a man in crisis,
Who by appearance had no degree.
Who was been beaten thrice,
Though it was against the decree.
So he thought of the decree twice,
There came hatred with it glee.
Threatening him to give Him a Price,
If only he ends his life in a slee.
To him, it...

A golden orb sending its rays
Far & wide to bathe in light
This town by the sea, before Christmas night....

His Christmas Cold
The night before Christmas my 6-year-old grandson was elated,
for he knew Santa would bring him bagful of gorgeous gifts
and he would come at night alighting through the chimney.
So, if there was one in the new house he wanted to see.
He ran upstairs to look at the roof top, but couldn't find...

A Night Like No OtherHe came as a babe in a manger,
left His Throne and His Glory above,
To bring us His grace and salvation
and show us the meaning of love
And the angels, they wept, for they knew of the things as a Man upon Earth He must face.
Of the trials, temptations and the meanness of men, just...

The Final BeatHe sat in the street, reaching out for support.
He did not shout or sing or beg.
He looked and smiled and shivered,
shaking in his cardboard bed.
The snow came down, December time,
cascading softly through the air.
But winter’s chill brings ringing bells—
no space for him, no mercy there.
No warmth tonight, no place to go,
the shutters down, the bitter...

FestivitiesA whiff of cedar, strong in the air
Joyful cries as days grow near
When single a day, makes men wonder days
Moving about without delays
With sales rising to fullest in spike
As domestics cry out and plants alike
Tunes cheery, food savoury and dance happily
Yet man starts to act rather humbly
But wait, there more to this sunny side
More crimes...

doubtthis one is a little bit different
all the others and today
are not the same
not in a way.
i hope you love everything i got for you
and i hope you love everything i do
because i don’t know what i’d do if you didn’t
i feel like im lying to myself
i want to feel the way the pages communicate...

Christmas Is Five Days DeadEvergreen corpses strewn on sidewalks
like victims of plague,
still adorned with specks of tinsel
abandoned and forlorn
once welcome houseguests now in the street
never to greet another New Year
all the presents unwrapped
put in proper place
beside last years loot of
sweaters, records and notebooks
never got written in
nothing to drink and no money for the bar
the food all...
