This breathing thing
is

A journey to many beginnings
With no ending

A walk
To endless sky

A marathon
With no finish line

A dance
To medley of tunes going round-and-round and on-and-on

A song
With no refrain

A quest
To cascading pursuits

A hike
With no peak awaits

A dive
To bottomless sea

A reign
With no crown

A cry
To desperation of another feet

A day
With no clock

When time rules

Where truth stuns time

When chasing of uneven hands stops

in beloved arms.

And the world stood still.

. . . that One magical night,
when the meager Cat turns generous
and the skeptic Mouse gives in.

So for once,
they set aside
their differences;

as they peacefully share
the left-over turkey
on Christmas eve.

Have Yourselves a Merry Little Christmas

By Lady Antebellum

Whilst the weak heart yearns,

the brave soul dares.

And hope beams,

as whirlwind magic begins.

Whilst surprises of a brand new day are awaiting,

aurora is peeping.

And fragments of stormy nights rush to fade,

as the sun gracefully appears humbling itself to faith.

Whilst gray clouds move,

the blue firmament alights;

Paving way for the mightiest eagle to fly

high above the pinky sky.

Hope is love in disguised.

Got To Believe in Magic
by David Pomeranz

When the sky would stop looking down at the sea;

When snow would fill all summer and file up on roofs, on roads and trees;

When lizards would speak and stand up for what they see;

And crickets would pay silence  

For longing hearts enduring their dreams,

I’ll be over you.

In vain

I waited

For the firmament

To open.

I searched high and low

Looking for the key,

In the greenest mountains then

In the bluest seas.

I begged the sands to show me.

I feared the waves were making trouble

In connivance

With the Hawaiian seals.

I saw them barricading

The shores of Waimea;

Capitalizing on torts

Jerking my hopes.

Never knowing

He was

At the other side

Of the shore.

Never knowing

His heart held the key

And clamped onto his soul

Was the chain to earth’s glories.

Never knowing

In his eyes,

Was the firmament,

A heaven long waiting to shine on me.

Now my lips hold the key; 

As I approach kissing his lids,

The firmament closes

And he falls to sleep so quick.

Beyond the Sea
by Bobby Darin

 
 
 
 

“Starry, Starry” Knight,
Prince of Venus,
Duke of Mars,
how dare you rob
my caratless mind!
I cannot seek justice
against your heist
for in your lips,
I tasted the moistened Earth;
for in your chest,
I romanced with the grandest canyons of Universe.
I cannot seek justice
when together,
we burglarized the love birds
and albatrosses.

“Starry, Starry” Knight,
Prince of Venus,
Duke of Mars,
how could you lit a fire
in my arid mouth?
It’s now a brushfire
burning deep inside.
I cannot seek justice
against your arson
for in your smile
I landed and lingered in the moon
longer than Armstrong;
for in your kisses,
I pirouetted with the stars.
 

Together,
We bewilder the comets;
We damn the planets–
they think
ours is the new sun.
