CHRISTMAS FOR JIMMY

CHRISTMAS FOR JIMMY

www.batkar.artistwebsites.com

The house looked ever so dandy

with a tall Spruce covered in candy

Bulbs and lights blazed in the sky

directing Santa and his deer where to fly.

To my house, this is the one

the others can wait, come, come, come!!!

Alas the gifts tumbled down the chimney

Santa signed each with, "To Jimmy."

My father and mother just watched in delight

at me in his zany youthful flight.

I yanked and pulled, clipped and tore

starting with the largest until alas no more.

It's too bad Christmas comes but once a year.

It's a time of presents, love and genuine cheer.

FORGOTTEN TIMES



FORGOTTEN TIMES

Texas Bull
carved from pine and painted with acrylics.

When you no longer have feelings

and you slow dance alone

And time canters by as the last

unicorn fades into the future,

carrying with him a new maiden

When you no longer need to be touched

or hear Romeo’s unspoken words

and loneliness creeps inside your

covers at night and wraps his

cold arms about you

When your tears rain in twilight memories

and your hands no longer reach out for help

stop, and take one moment to embrace

the loved ones that your left behind.



SUN BEAR

Sun Bear

carved from pine with acrylic paint by Robert Margetts

Fallen Sun Bear

with misted almond shaped Godivas

slowly darkening the day with heavy lids

and beckoning the nightmares

to place leniency upon a guilty soul.

A tear of Raspberry drips the dew

That webs the sky                                                      

nectar for those who crave the taste

a show of pain who dare to cry.

Droplets of liquid trickle

down the innocent face of one so hurt

pelting the ivory lace dress

patronizing love and loyalty.

Be not so afraid to seek the hand that once placed the ring of time upon a child in a land far away.

For every child finds peace

by the twilight of night
in the arms of a soft Teddy Bear.

WEDDING BLUES



WEDDING BLUES

The rejected man

acrylic paint on canvas by Robert Margetts

Five to midnight

the circle broken and a nail

twenty half moons alone in the alter

jilted at the rail

Pupils barren of life

drip the dew that webs the skies

constricted by the veil

awakened to the lies

The ring and the gauntlet

the sour blood and the glove

hidden beneath the shame

the snake shed his love

The shower before the alter

the china broken in the slush

the hands move with time

as bristles fall from the brush

The square completed and the nail

sealed inside a prison of pine

ashes to ashes, dust to dust

only the rings survives time.
