It’s Christmas time in New Jersey, come see and hear,
all the sights, sounds, glow and sparkling of lights so pretty
that comprise the heartbeat, rhythm and sparkle of our
big and wonderful and great cities, towns and villages throughout the garden state.

It’s Christmas time in New Jersey our cities, towns and villages,
are now all adorned in their most glorious dress,
as church elders prepare the baby Jesus creche.

Christmas trees on town halls, stores, homes, lawns and malls are all shining bright.
Gaily decorated in colored bells, tinsel, garlands, angels and lights, that glow and sparkle day and night,
boy oh boy what a magnificent and inspirational sight.

As Santa Clause makes out his Christmas list, making sure no girl or boys requested
toy will be forgot or missed. as Santa Claus extends his warm and welcoming cheerful Christmas
greeting to everyone throughout our great garden state.

Merry, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to one and all.
For, it’s Christmas time in New Jersey.

I’ll Always Call the Jersey Shore Home
– Joseph P. Martino

What good is family and friends

When you are thousands of miles away?

And when I return home, it’s for such a short stay?

No matter where I happen to be entertaining on a foreign tour,
There’s nothing like returning to my home on the Jersey Shore.

I’ll always call the Jersey Shore home.
Money and fame is just fine,

But being home with my family will always be my immediate quest,
It’s the only way I’m able to set both my mind and body at rest.

For deep down in my soul,
I know that State of New Jersey is one place my heart loves best.

So no matter what world stage I may appear,
Be it Toronto, Sydney, London, Paris or Rome

There’s no greater feeling
Like performing before my fans at Home.

For I’ll always call the Jersey Shore Home.

What memorial day means to me
copyright joseph p.martino

“America land of opportunity, home of the brave and free.
Where the American flag and eagle fly for one and all to see.

Our nations flag ripples proudly in the breeze, from sunny California to the sandy shores of Maine, all across America up to the ocean sea’s.

Many of our brave and patriotic son’s and daughter’s who fought on foreign shores, have now gone to their eternal rest.

On memorial day Americans honors our veterans, they deserve our praise and glory for they are truly our nations best!

Some made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country safe and free, they paid our future obligations in the name of liberty.

Please do not take for granted the legacy they bequeath, for these brave hero’s never heard the words: ‘run’ or ‘defeat.’

So always remember and shall we never forget, to thank our veterans and active service men and women every chance you get.

That’s what, MEMORIAL DAY means to me.”

MIGRAINE NIGHTMARE
copyright by: Joseph P. Martino

I walk silently through the lonely corridors of my mind.
my brain resonates to howling echoes.
I seem to enter and exit endless doors and hallways, but
none that seem to lead in any direction or final destination.

In stutter steps I traverse slowly and carefully along a
darkened path littered with broken fragments of cobblestone.
my chest cavity feels cavernous as an empty canyon on a
blistering summers heat.
my heart beats as rapid as an old railroad clock.

My head feels as heavy as an anvil and throbs with pain.
my tongue as dry and as sandy as a cactus.
a maddening howling wind at my back pushes me forward
in an aimless direction without purpose or direction as
if a tumble weed.

I feel as if I’m cascading into a turbulent sea of insanity,
drenched in perfuse sweat. I suddenly bolt upright from
my pillow realizing I have awoke from this purgatorial nightmare.
such an illusion, devilish delusion, a state of total confusion.
so now I begin another day of drudgery,
another days journey into life’s great unknown. joseph p.martino poet,writer

“The United States of America”

The United States of America, no more powerful words ever written or said.

A nation born of revolution and framed and formed by our founding fathers.

Meaningful words such as: Freedom, Liberty and Justice still prevail, ringing out loud and clear…as the American symbol of independence, “THE LIBERTY BELL,” did in our founders yesteryear.

Lady liberty stands ever vigilant, high upon her pedestal overlooking the harbor, adorned in her flowing robe, crown and flaming torch and arm raised aloft in her hand…America, just like our Lady Liberty, has never denied the American dream and gift of asylum to those seeking a better life in this great land, for when it comes Freedom and Liberty Americans and America does not or never will deny or look the other way, nor bury their heads in the sand.

America offers all a refuge and haven to the oppressed and downtrodden masses of the world for, it does not make a difference to this great nation and people if you’re rich, poor, ethnicity, or language that one speaks or continent you’re from, the only thing we ask is your allegiance and love of America as you follow the beam of light that that Lady Liberty shines along the path that leads to her welcoming front door.

See you folks again tomorrow!

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA by Joseph P. Martino

“THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,NO MORE POWERFUL WORDS
WHERE EVER SAID.
A AMERICA CREATED BY GOD AND LATER BY OUR FOUNDING
FATHERS,WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

TODAY THESE SAME AND SHINING PRINCIPLES STILL STAND,
RINGING OUT LOUD AND CLEAR JUST AS THE LIBERTY BELL
DID IN OUR FOUNDERS YESTERYEAR.
TODAY,LADY LIBERTY STANDS EVER VIGILANT IN N.Y. HARBOR, DRESSED IN
HER FLOWING ROBES CROWN AND FLAMING TORCH IN
HAND,….AND UNLIKE OTHER, WHEN IT CAME TO FREEDOM,SHE DID NOT STAND AROUND AND
BURY HER HEAD IN THE SAND. AT THIS VERY MOMENT LIKE A MOTHER SHE
STILL WATCHES OVER US,
BE IT NIGHT OR DAY,FROM TINY LITTLE LIBERTY ISLAND ,IN NEW YORK BAY.

America offers all a refuge and haven to the oppressed and downtrodden masses of the world for, it does not make a difference to this great nation and people if you’re rich, poor, ethnicity, or language that one speaks or continent you’re from, the only thing we ask is your allegiance and love of America as you follow the beam of light that that Lady Liberty shines along the path that leads to her welcoming front door.

Enjoy the rest of today and be safe!

new jersey, come feel the love by joseph p.martino

new jersey is the state i’m so proud to call home, your always
on my mind when i’m away to long. just the mention of new jersey
lingers like a melody from a romantic song.
if i did not mention the wonder that is new jersey, I’d be remiss.
and if the thought or words should pass my lips, the experience

is akin to what one feels when viewing a total eclipse, that puts both mind and heart
in a state of bliss, just like a child giving their parents their very
first kiss.

the garden state is simply great, the people and scenery first rate.
the above statements are not open for debate.
history, historic cities, towns and villages and beautiful ocean resorts
in the greater atlantic city region
that line the beaches are world renown, Atlantic city like all the
rest is a world class town.
rivers, lakes, ocean and mountains too, the sights of which is to good to be
true, so come on down and enjoy the view.
