family, happiness, holiday, love, love,
The soft warm shades of twinkle lights,
reflects, muted, from love worn orbs.
Serenity it does afford,
to all our weary souls and hearts.
Each decoration is a part,
to the testament of years rewards.
They glow richer, as love absorbs.
Sweet memories, they do impart.
Paper, glitter, from a child's hand.
Delicate hand blown glass Angels.
Beneath a star that rests above,
popcorn and cranberry garlands,
tiny hand painted, silver bells.
Thirty Five years of Christmas love.

christmas, love,
Forgive me sweet, Jesus, for
Spending so much time decorating
The Christmas tree and the streets
Of my town
But
Neglecting my soul to adorn with
The words of Thy message: To care,
To love and to help those in need,
This Christmas!

A grain of rice,
seeds of a vegetable,
lights in a decoration,
a bride.
A bottle of old wine
infected by abnormal wishes.
Crawling into fake
carvings on a stone......
of an old love.
Stones broken by a stone crusher,
fighting back for emptiness
still a grain of rice.
Flew among the clouds,
a scarlet horse,
a prince, seeds of a vegetable,
a bride.

A jolly old man
Who makes your wishes come true
A joy of Christmas
Brings such special gifts to you
She waits for him patiently
Underneath the tree
Sprinkled with faith and hope too
My love is a gift
Two are kindness and giving
Three is a promise to you
I give you my heart
Filled with a decoration
Now and forever
A sweet communication
Near to me or far apart

Hundredth diamond
In the middle of an ocean
the place where it live a nation...
...Seychellois
Mix of race unique and unite
We live like a whole family
Yes!
you are the most beautiful one
You are the most precious one
Where your greeness is the decoration
Of its nature
Yes, the place I called paradise
With the inspiration of the poets
I will express
With the melodies of the singers
Will give echo to my words
For you, I will do anything
If I have to, I will give my life
For you
Good Morning, Good Night
Our unforgettable tradition
We must preserv
Because it is a precious
Treasure that we owe
Because for the love
Of my country
I will build my future

Paris Sonnet
I visited Paris a few days ago went into a café
And ordered a cream cake, the slice was huge
And had a yellow liquid on top, I was assured
It was sweaty sugar.
Tiny footsteps
No, it was decoration
Made by an artistic baker and a fork
I have diabetes should not eat sugary things
Put a serviette over the cake, drank my coffee and left.
The river Seine was still high
I just this morning read that Paris has a plaque of rats
Discerning taste prefers cake shops and why not
Who wants to live in that dirty river blind lovers
Think are romantic.

FOREST LOVE
As a melody felt in its first notes,
I caught the perfume of her soul pouring
Through the lacework of snow-covered branches.
The beats of my heart played a measure
Among the tapestry of the gods -
Spirit freeing semibreves
In the arms of white decoration.

Let freedom reign for the America descendants
Hope of the inspiration of joy and peace
Long last freedom high highest of
The compliment and Corduroy of peace
Understanding and acceptance
Patriotism held for kin of breach
A gift from the French a decoration a symbol as a whole
Sophistication of standards yields to youth
Vision of craft characterize unto the art of conception
Yes I am young hoping to be inspire
Lesson learn and envy of days
God Bless America.

blessing, introspection, joy, vanity,
Glitzy and starry gets all the attention
Even the worth is no more a chaff
Everyone needs that loud attraction
Yet I sit here simply folding my arms
Holding myself from all pretension
Not to please one for false adulation
And I stand alone in this mad race
For I am a Fancy Free Soul…
Happy to be simply myself
Wherever I go independence follows
No outer polish or decoration
The mirror of truth and satisfaction
I am a Fancy Free Soul…
Love me or Hate me I really don’t care
Fancy World can never understand
It’s difficult to be the one I am, I can
Living in a fancy world with fancy free smile.
For Fancy Free Contest.

loneliness, lonely,
Freedom is confined in a lone house with sunken cobbles.
The home is filled with synthetic ornaments and electric bubbles.
I'd live in the secret waters and explore life thenceforth
Rather than reeling in circles; I’m going back and forth.
The tail is the love of his eyes; he made my orange-fin as decoration
But never he heard the old merman’s tale and took it as his inspiration.
Tomorrow is just nothing; I’m not looking forward to
Except for the food he’ll give me that I could chew.
In search of my purpose, I breathe underwater and found emptiness.
As pure as waters around, there is no happiness.

love, love,
You are the definition of inspiration.
Through your heartbeat is my own motivation.
I love you completely,
with no hesitation;
Your face and your spirit
is my hearts decoration.
Your body is a work of art,
but your soul is God's creation.
My Obsession Has No Evasion.
It is unknown to me,
how you breathe persuasion.
You are the answer
to my hearts equation.
I enjoyed the feeling,
Of my souls invasion.
Your love is a fog,
I relaxe in sedation.
My dreams are not as good as reality,
when to you I awaken.
You make me strong
I remain unshaken.
I belong to you,
My heart you've taken.

Tying the knot
one becomes two
frayed we're not
pink intertwined with blue
don't let it slip away
the cut will run deep
dyed in array
with a natural sweep
a needle in a field of cotton
soft with a solid feel
laying on laps not sodden
overlapping the steel
painless though pricked
dropping blood of sanctity
throbbing hearts through conflict
clasping pins tangled in humanity
embroidered with souls touched
by everlasting design
I reach for decoration clutched
forever to twine

life, love, day,
If I could have one day of you,
blue-ribboned with packaged perfection,
my wishful dreams might all come true,
wild geese in faultless formation.
If you confessed you loved me too,
unhesitant, pure in reflection,
my heart would cry a wild tattoo,
a rhythm of awed confirmation.
If I could have one day of bliss,
studded with bright decoration,
no other days could equal this
delirium of being together.
If you bestowed an endless kiss
on my lips with a crazed adoration,
we would, in love paralysis,
freeze in time with each other forever...

confusionme,
You say I'm crazy to
Hold onto love or recognition
But my insanity insists on
Wearing you like a decoration
There's a weary window ledge
Once held a set of footprints
Emblazoned with some bleak knowledge
Of hopeless resignation
A thought or two to lift me up
I'm thinking
You're not the end of the story
Merely one short chapter
That's all that keeps me off that
Ledge

Some find a lover's kiss just waiting that is beautifully sublime.
Sign of love at Christmas and also a very pretty decoration,

Seek a kiss with the right person and it can lead to a situation.

imagination, words, world, change,
Words... simply a poet’s world
And how words have change
A world with words to hurl
Is there a change to have maintain?
“I love you” were words before
When was deception introduce along?
What did the world change for?
Rather to what’s achieve... begone
We all learn to be for a no longer be meant
Simply words said for a wanting
A broaden selfishness with a devious plan
Are we no longer genuine to be needing?
I have words I do wanna say
Yet a need for decoration to passage through
Have you words need relay?
I have words... if only you knew.....
With words to swear... to hurl
Have we a sentiment remain?
My words from a poet’s world
Have your words change?
