Bring
with you
jingle bells
gifts of true love
...
How the student
left his noodles
somewhere called home
just to be here
...
Come visit me
where everyone is dressed up
for a ceremony
in their best-ever attire
...
This night we celebrate
festival of lights
features triumph
over darkness
...
What in the world
have you done
to my aching heart,
pulsating it with livid fear
...
If
I cannot listen
to the sound of music,
guitar playing
...
Sometimes people hide the truth
by spreading a blanket of lies
like wool over your eyes
in make-belief
...
