The Reason is Right


To give a gift that keeps on giving,
I make a move to keep my pen bleeding.
Until words slide off the page right thro the brain,
As your feelings bind and turn pain into gain.

And the season is ripe.
And the reason is right
To attack you with love this one mo’ time,
And drown your fears in joys of yuletide.

To translate a scene from my heart to paper,
I grope for words that’d flow much deeper.
That long after the paragraph is read,
The vibes will keep your feet sure on the ledge.

Stable Story


I hear your thoughts
Speak to me of a low-down universe.
I get swayed and ask, ‘how can these things be?’
Comes your sweet reply, ‘you can, if you’ll only believe.’

‘I’m crippled by my fears, how can I be strong?’
You answer, ‘There’s no fear in a season made for love.’
‘Does that mean, even for a tramp, no room for bias?’
‘Love was born in a stable why this is Christmas.’

I come as I am
A material witness to an irrefutable plan,
To testify that reality lives inside your hearts.
And if you truly believe that’ll only be a start.

Card #1: Variety ft. Nat King Cole


Nat King Cole


Although it's been said many times
Many ways, Merry Christmas to you
                             Nat King Cole,
                             The Christmas Song



If there was another way of saying Merry Christmas,
What would it be?
What feel would the phrase kick up?

A million and one times
I have pushed for something appropriate;
A word, a phrase.
Trying for variety, if you please.

If that strikes you as nuts, I won’t argue.
But I only want to shoot my message with creative force,
Mail it in over the transom.

I’m heavy with inspiration
Which don’t seem well acquainted with dialect.
Words make me inept.
I’m like storm cloud that’s forgotten how to turn its tummy.

Isn’t there someone who feels likewise?
Someone who knows the words or gestures that’s just right?
And while I’ll Google and Google, and for variety Google one more time,
Here’s a blast from the past that’s a golden gas:

Merry Christmas.
