'Tis the Season

winter is cold without the one you love

Tis the season

for hope and joy and love…

 

for words that loved ones say

that echoed once

but seem to fade

when all there is between us is the snow

 

and this longing, uninvited

yet living, breathing, chilling a heart

aching to be wrapped in love

your love

 

but there are no roses bright enough

to warm the winter coat

that hides my smile

as I listen to the nightingales sing

and the midnight winds complain…

if I could

 

there is only a wish on a magical night

and a Christmas star

that falls like dreams and soft snowflakes

after all…

‘tis the season

Julie, I'm sorry we've lost touch, I've written and posted several Christmas pieces that I wish you would look at. I the meantime, your poem: Christmas is a time of love and joy, but there are millions of stories of this Christmas love being unrequited, separated by miles and weather systems. Then the Christmas color palette changes from predominantly red and green to blue all over. Then no matter how warm and toasty the fireplace works, no matter how hot the chocolate...there hangs a dank chill. Here's hoping YOUR Christmas finds the warmth it seeks and settles in for hugs and chocolate...draped in tinseled heartbeats. take care...dan

What a dick review that thing I just deleted with prejudice was....

My air conditioner broke so I thought I'd read a Christmas poem.

It's much darker than I remember it. It's still terrific and stuff..

Again, well done Ms Jewel. You're writing is unassailable.

dear Julie, a perfect Christmas poem falls
softly on my heart. Soon crocus will appear
and birds will sing arias of forbidden love...
dreaming of flowers in bloom. Your poetry is
an awakening of passion and poetry entwined
with sunny blue skies. truly, Pat
