CHRISTMAS HAS GONE
Christmas has gone like a flatulent fart
silent night is just a mattress
the hosannas that rang no longer ring true
three ships sailed over the bright horizon
while the sales are flexing and long overdue.
Family groups have dispersed once again
the elders tucked safely away

Christmas Eve
Hearts heave a relief

Wreaths of activity
yearning for a peace
that never arrives.
Following evening star

of glittered hope
and gifted uncertainty
that reflects
in each other's eyes.

You are my joy, my verse, my rhyme,
who I love more each Christmas time.

Where I am
The festive lights sparkle
Glistening in
The eyes of my strangers
I assimilate insensibly
For it is dark where I am
And they do not understand
Why there is no tree
Innocent laughter tears
Excitement free
From warm-hearted tokens
My gift is emptiness
For it is cold where I am
And he doesn’t understand
Why there is no tree
Smiles of c...
