Peace Must Wait
At 4 AM, the toys’ assembly done,
And everything is smuggled into place.
I’m Beat! …although my Battle isn’t won,
To bed! …a little sleep, for now, I'll chase!
By 6 AM, the children burst right in
Rambunctious laughter shocks us both awake
For them, the magic morning just begins
We drag ourselves from bed, just for their sake.
The children leave the house to show their toys
It makes for needed respite from the sound
Of early Christmas morning’s joyous noise
9:30, the first peaceful time we’ve found.
Ironic,...
And everything is smuggled into place.

Rambunctious laughter shocks us both awake
For them, the magic morning just begins
We drag ourselves from bed, just for their sake.
The children leave the house to show their toys
It makes for needed respite from the sound

Coveter's Christmas
I woke.
Swallowed the psyche. I woke again
in the body of a holly drupe
and twined to reef.
I fell
out of leavened dough sugar fists
to the black pit of earther
that branched in the conifer-swirled shoots from grand maternity of the siblings I have in you.
Drape nylon tunic mesh
slipped through to the flickered contour
by the high beam ruffling off the ivory bowl palm.
There a vermilion scattered wings of speckling red mercury.
Nylon vortexed into black fervor...

The Stable – ( Christmas 2018 )
stood for over a century
yet remained intact, aged-old –
it’s timber cracked, pallid.
Scarcely any planks covered
the loft – broken remnants
of scattered living adorned the floor.
Moonlight dove channels
through walls – bridle and bucket
listless amid their stalls.
In a corner, something faded
tints barely legible – blue
color-washed grey, maybe.
Plastic people in worship – ...

Santa's Dead
Santa's dead (ho ho no!) his head took a bullet
And his white locks soon turned to a claret mullet
Naught survived, with all his reindeer butchered
They were sleighed, when their guts were ruptured
Alas Santa was savagely felled, 'twas his final hurdle
Somewhere cold, is his grave, beyond the Arctic Circle
Decembers will now come and go and we'll fake the news
Even though Santa was murdered, we'll hide the clues
And let's not tell the children, they don't need to know
Dasher and his deer friends died with Santa in the snow
And his white locks soon turned to a claret mullet
Naught survived, with all his reindeer butchered
They were sleighed, when their guts were ruptured
Alas Santa was savagely felled, 'twas his final hurdle
Somewhere cold, is his grave, beyond the Arctic Circle
Decembers will now come and go and we'll fake the news
Even though Santa was murdered, we'll hide the clues
And let's not tell the children, they don't need to know
Dasher and his deer friends died with Santa in the snow

Christmas May Be Time of Rapture/RussianAttack
GORBACHEV Is The Grinch That May Try To Replace Christmas.
Gorbachev is the Antichrist because he made peace, ending the Cold War in the late 1980s.
By doing so he began the fulfillment of Daniel 8.25, "by peace he will destroy many"(King James Version).
He made peace ONLY because that was the only way to get the USA to disarm. Which is what we have steadily done over the last 30 years!!
Our retaliatory arsenal is only a shameful shadow of its former glory.
It is literally no longer a valid Deterrent!! Meaning that now Russia can bomb us with impunity!!

LINGERIE GIFT PACK
I gave my love reverently
A box of Christmas lingerie,
Tied around with a red bow -
Something to which she'll not say No.
A matching lacy bra and thong,
With teddy down to the thighs long,
Suspender belt around the waist,
To surely fit her saucy taste,
Stockings in which she could can-can
As way to entertain a man.
A shade of hot red, not cold blue,
That says "It's how I desire you!"
A box of Christmas lingerie,
Tied around with a red bow -
Something to which she'll not say No.
A matching lacy bra and thong,
With teddy down to the thighs long,
Suspender belt around the waist,
To surely fit her saucy taste,
Stockings in which she could can-can
As way to entertain a man.
A shade of hot red, not cold blue,
That says "It's how I desire you!"
