A Tribute To Frida Kahlo Christmas Eve
A Cypriot Night  


A Tribute To Frida Kahlo

The power of her image

Burns in my mind

Like an explosion of fireworks

Cascading down to earth

What dazzling beauty

What bewildering grace

The piercing look of her gaze

Could reach deep into your soul

Her sparkling eyes

Outshone the brightest star

A stunning mix of vibrant colours

She could dance on moonbeams

A brief dazzling light

That faded all too soon

Like a shooting star lighting up heaven

And slowly fading away

Back to the top

BACK HOME

 

Christmas Eve

Snow is lying on the ground

And Christmas lights shine all around

It’s Christmas Eve and there’s not a sound

Apart from the children as their little hearts pound

Santa’s reindeer slip and slide

On the rooftops to which they are tied

While Father Christmas climbs inside

Leaving presents by the fireside

Snowflakes drift in the starlit sky

As a little child starts to cry

A heavenly angel passes by

And the child gives a happy sigh

Santa returns on his northern flight

As a child is awoken by the morning light

May you always be beautiful and bright

And may God bless you this Christmas Night

Back to the top

BACK HOME

A Cypriot Night

As the temperature rises

There are plenty of surprises

A crescendo of noise

As the girls kiss the boys

Germans and Greeks

Screams and shrieks

Girls dressed in black

With nothing on their back

A sun-tanned arm

And Mediterranean charm

The girls are so chic

Whilst dancing cheek-to-cheek

Drinking a bottle of Keo

Whilst Sophia dances with Theo

Sipping a brandy sour

As you pass another hour

Dancing on the table

As well as you are able

To the rhythm of the beat

As you start to stamp your feet

On a Cypriot Night

You dance till its light

You leave the nightclub yawning

And sleep right through the morning

Back to the top
