Christmas Eve FIRST PLACE= 700, 000 ccs

My Entry For The Christmas Poetry Contest :)

Silver_Lily

I was lying asleep in bed

Dreaming of toys inside my head

All the presents that I longed for

If we hadn't been so poor

But Mum & Dad they try so hard

And give me presents and a card

There's always goodies and sweets

And games, and fun and treats.

Then I heard a noise downstairs

Someone moved the table and chairs

There was a crash and then a bang

Then "Ho Ho Ho" someone sang.

It couldn't be, really, could it?

The chuckle of St. Nick

Was he really at our house?

Or was it just a mouse?

I crept out of bed, then to my door

Snuck downstairs to find out more

The mince pies in the kitchen had gone

The light in the living room shone

I opened the door, and stared in awe

At the mess across the floor

The sooty prints that led to our tree

Oh and all the presents there for me

There were sparks and a flash of light

A shadow disappeared out of sight

I saw a figure in snow, waving to me

This was the best Christmas Eve it could be

But my favourite part this year

Was to see all of the pretty reindeer

And Santa in his sleigh

But I was sad when he flew away

You Are My Rain

By: Rusty

I feel the rain though I am lost at mid-day in the dry summer desert heat.

It is the essence of you, soothing the pain of the burning sun on this treacherous path I beat.

The thoughts of you are the morning dew and the first sips from the untouched mountain stream.

You are the focus, of the pivot, of the anchor, of the soul of my mind, --- of my being.

I go on as I catch the tiniest wisp of the smell of you, inspired to take just one more step.

Each lifting and pushing and falling of the souls of my feet are all I have left. As each is a testament that even just the color of your hair makes life worth living.

Now I empty myself into you, and you into me, we are one, from the giving

A drop of you, into me, fills the endless void, rain on me.......

Your Soul Speaks

Across the miles if only you could read my thoughts

I would feel the tear drops fall gently on my face,

You are the one who compliments my soul

your presence makes my life worthwhile,

When I turn out the light and lay there in the dark

Dreams of your smile carress me ,

Thoughts of you spin endelessly through my mind

leaving a warm trail of love.

I speak to you from my heart

my mind reaches out like a hand

reaching in the dark trying to capture

the love you send on the wings of a dream,

The desire to hold you

the wanting in my heart

leaves a feeling of emptiness inside.

Do you know how much I love you,

do you feel me in your soul,

people tell me to let go but

my heart can't free itself from

the raptures of your love.

Your soul speaks to me with its eyes,

your kiss with a gaze that melts my heart to liquid love.

My soul feels the gentle touch of love,

my heart the pain of love denied,

What does the future hold for those

who's love is found on distance shores.

The gentle carress of love on your heart

leaves your soul yearning for the feel

of your lips denied.

The past can't be undone

the present grips your life and

you swim in the mist of dreams,

The future untold but in your mind is a map

of life's path of love.

You, my love, devouring my heart and soul

to depths of dark despair

to heights of life's fuel

for mind, body, and soul;

love and love alone.

CT Christmas THIRD PLACE =300, 000 ccs

Submited by SunsetLioness

Twas the day of Christmas,

and all through CT land,

Merryment and laughter rang out louder than the band.

By the chat areas,

they hang, all chattering away,

Fingers flying, typing all through the day.

As the day drew to an end,

the yawns began to be smothered.

As CTians began giving out good night huggers.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

An Angels Kiss

yourangel4u2

please dont be sad don't cry my love,

I'll always be with you loving you from above,

I will still hold you each and every night

wrap you warm in my wings and hold on tight.

Our life together my love will never end

for on angels wings my love will decend,

You will feel me

I'll be with you everyday,

you will hear me everything i have to say,

It will all just be done in a different way,

I promise you everyday i will send you this,

All my love upon an angels kiss.

What makes Christmas?

Ivy and holly, all are jolly;

Succulent smells, Christmas bells;

Twinkling lights, cold, frosty nights;

Evergreen fir, gold and myrrh;

White Christmas snow, spirits that flow;

Laughter and love, snow white dove,

Carols sung high, new baby’s cry;

Mince pie and cream, yuletide dreams;

Family meetings, joyous greetings,

St Nick calling, snowballing;

Mistletoe kiss, pantomime hiss;

Gifts and toys, good girls and boys;

Bethlehem’s star, travelling far,

Jesus’ birth, Peace on Earth

My Ribbon glistening white

waving in the wind

blown by the breath of God

Connected; between my soul & the living God

I hear the voice of God

My Ribbon trembles

Dew from the mouth of God settles upon

My Ribbon

My Soul

Like dew settling on the new blades of grass,

Oh God your voice settles upon my soul

My Ribbon Trembles

The clouds roll in, the day grows dim I am defective!

I am human

Oh!

My!

My ribbon

My ribbon, It's crooked!

Sin, drip, drip

Sin, drip, drip

Wisdom falls from my soul

like peddles dying from a flower

drip, drip

Sin cuts deep within my soul.

My ribbon grow's crimson

with every drop

Sin, drip, drip

My soul cries out for redemption

As I enter into Salvation;

As I enter into Shabbat!

I hear the voice of God speaking through His Torah.

The dew settles softly upon my soul,

Upon my Ribbon

My Ribbon trembles as the teaching falls like soft rain.

Your speech oh God falls like showers upon growing plants.

Renewal: My soul is renewed as,

I enter Your Shabbat

Shabbat;

Shabbat is Holy!
