Holidays

Tears, blinding as stars,

serve as guiding lights

in a season of cheer.

 

Hopes, like snowflakes, 

fall and lose 

their pretty form, 

hardening into sheets 

of white despair 

beneath reds and golds.

 

Joy. Magic. Love.Togetherness. Peace.

These are the goblins, 

that creep in and gnaw 

 

through quiet phones,

empty mailboxes, 

un-pressed doorbells.

 

Christmas trees 

deathly still in the corners 

bear gifts no Magi would approve. 

 

It’s a relief when the cats

knock them over, kicking around the tinsel 

on the cold floors.

Beautiful art work, very beautiful the poem. i see there is a warm feeling when i hear my husband voice, wherever he mimics voice, i think i recognize him, only he sings holiday songs for me. This holidays too it touched me deeply and i know when he says a word i see not what he is saying, because my heart already listens it and then mind see his visuals and then i see him. how much maybe a millionth part of seconds these things does, my soul in my deepest sleep his voice touches and it cries to hear to him.
I had very great Christmas this time, because i could celebrate and did things without a preplan.

for me i am alone and when i realise what is my mistake for this loneliness, i see my mistakes, and then i grieve, and feel guilty. My grand mother said how long you still cry realizing mistakes, God is going to give you what is that i lost, i thought at least my tears wash away my mistakes. And i do clean his feet with my tears, he may forgive me. I see him he is not angry on me, and misses me so much that these people are keeping us very busy with their sins, we are stuck in each others beds, and this desire of few never ending, i see how much we need they are blocking every step we take, its been a while he kissed me and hugged a decade and more from then it started a night mare in our life. i see one solution, that our attempt to love is not the problem, me in his life and love of him to me is the problem.

I see a flower everyone likes what is the mistake when he sucks my honey. She has got handsom and true love, she loved him so much that publicly they had sex chat, why she didnt marry him, instead she lost him, is it that because he is loving me, i have seen few people my classmate married her though he watched many, but she s***s on me still because her husband still respects me. Its not the fault of him.

I see people want me to die, is it that easy when people doesnt like few they kill very cleverly?

Let that people wish me soon my death, i am here to die,

me my son and my husband close the last chapter of our life on earth in this birth. And we born in our heaven where no one sees us, atleast they live happily thinking we are not anymore.


i am sorry sharing with you felt me better.

I'm glad you shared your thoughts anf feelings with me, Jessy. We all make mistakes as we are all too human. We suffer and learn from our mistakes to move on with our loved ones. I pray you find your happiness with your loved ones. Even a moment of joy and love is worth the pain.
