Christmas…by MwsR
It is certainly not about who is good or naughty
Now don’t misunderstand me and go-getting haughty.
I think of Christmas as a market made for money
I know some of you are thinking that’s not very funny.
But it is true.
I know you see you, you do.
It should be a celebration about Christ’s birth
The whole frankincense and myrrh.
But sadly I see people so obsessed with gift-giving
Instead they’re putting emphasis on all the receiving.
Now don’t get me wrong I am not saying to be a scrooge
Just have a heart that gives love and love will ensue.
Think about widows and homeless people
Think about those you encounter that come worship under the same steeple.
There are people fighting just to have a reason
to see the magic in this Christmas season.
They may never know till you take the time to show
It’s not something you can find wrapped up with a bow.
It is what Christmas should represent
It was that hope that God had sent.
His son, the newborn king
The one who gives us everything.
The reason for this Holiday.
The time to get on your knees and pray,
And thank him the Lord of all of us
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Poem
Without you
By MwsR
Seems without you, I forget to breathe.
The sun was not as bright as it was when I am with you.
I know it seems unreal …but it is true.
Without you my day is dull
My senses refuse to do their job
I feel like a door without its knob.
When it’s time to sleep you are on my mind
I don’t feel like I can sleep at all no matter how I try,
Reminds me of a bruise you get from a hard fall,
Because no matter what you do it will take time to go away.
Please come back sooner rather than never
I can’t live like this forever.
Poem
Frozen by MwsR
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it way down deep?
Or has it haunted you in your sleep?
You have become numb and changed
The pieces that were once limber are stiff.
Why is it that we stay on that frozen cliff?
Too many things have been affected
Your goals and your visions have become neglected.
It’s as if your own soul has been rejected.
You can no longer see clearly now there is a haze
You try to get back what time tries to erase
When in all actuality you cannot continue the chase.
Waiting for that one rock to knock you and shatter you into many pieces
Hoping that the Sun will warm you and bring you back to living
Where once breath was inside of you now you have nothing that’s giving.
You are frozen.
You are frozen in time.
You are frozen in time because you have grown cold.
No spark has left no flame will burn
Until this curse has risen
You need to realize what it is you have to give and how much more of your life you have to live, just listen.
You don’t have to be frozen
Time doesn’t have to freeze
You can avoid being cold…
The spark is there it will ignite the flame
The curse will rise and you shall remain
You can give and continue to live.
Poem
Forever It Stays That Way….MSR
Unanswered, yet I have the answer
Inside still spinning but no cure like there’s not for cancer.
Maybe it’s the symptoms I keep feeling
Can’t stop the thoughts from unveiling.
Forever it stays that way
There never could ever be enough to sway
Time to change the spinning into memory
Forgetting of course about being free
It is not so bad
It makes me sad
It also makes me emerge
My own fullness to splurge
Forever it stays that way
Even replaced it will lay
Silent yet exploding in sound
Around my tattered heart it abounds
I’m still good as new
Because I’m one of those few
That learned to fight
Kept in it despite
I don’t worry
I’m in no hurry
Because…forever it will stay,
This way.
Poem
Somewhere In My Dreams By MwsR
Trancing me as you do
Making me wish to be talking to you
Like toast that is nothing without the spread
Or moments that keep replaying in my head.
Starting and stopping and pausing a lot
Walking back into the past is something I cannot.
Gone, like the black and white tv shows
But still a time that everyone knows.
Echos of our past
and wishing that it would have last.
Why can we not have the present, with the past, without complication?
Maybe it is because it causes a difficult situation.
Possibly it is a learning thing
Maybe it is just all the memories it should bring.
I cannot answer this or know this
But oh what a predicament it is!
Somewhere in my dreams,
You will always beam
Even if it isn’t in my now
But only in the how.
Poem
Can’t by MwsR
Can’t say things aloud.
They’re stuck inside amidst the feelings that crowd.
Wishing that I could have enough courage to share
But regardless of effort. I will not be spared
With the passing time.
It seems easier to hide these words of mine.
Can’t say things aloud.
Poem
When by MwsR (me)
When you feel down and out,
Make your soul jump up and about.
Do something kind for someone or something
It will surely make you sing.
Life is rewarding when we start to shine
Give to less fortunate be meek and kind.
If you can’t spread a rainbow
At least be the pot of gold, you know.
For whoever finds you will find a treasure
And whoever knows you, it will be a pleasure.
The world has a way of putting clouds of gray in a person’s day
Try and be the one who can lessen that in a small way.
When you are feeling down and out,
Take care of others and you will eventually stop your pout.
Poem
Inescapable Knot by MwsR
Been thinking about you from dusk to dawn
Wishing we could talk again, all evening long.
You came in my life at such an impressionable age
Showed me how to dream while in a most imaginable state.
I wonder often if I cross your mind
Leaving you breathless while not being far behind.
I carry you around like a clown carries his props.
Never letting you go for fear my heart would drop
Or my heartbeat stop.
There are times I swear I hear your words
If I told that to certain people they’d think me absurd.
But it’s true and deep
And follows with every heartbeat.
You changed my mind, filled my soul
Like frost that is inseparable from the cold.
One blink I feel I might lose sight
While holding you in my heart so tight.
A dream, I think not
Just an inescapable knot.
