The saddest Christmas
I ever had
was waking up,  
in realization

That I was
no longer
a child,
anymore

This last one
wasn’t,
much better

Since my
past
is still,
my present

Wrapped up
sadly
in crinkled up
parchment

Of troth
un bestowed

Gifts,
never to be
given

Favor
never longingly,
endowed

Cries entangled

Never sang,
or swayed

Only flits of
perchance
of lull,
and bye

I’ve been
searching
for that,
special offering
to settle

Softly

Where your
breath escapes

Framed by
silken
waterfalls
of ribbons,
that your tresses
drape

And through the
opacity,
light seared
the gloam

As wonder
and wandering
fled
from their homes

Moving on
toward
the moments
ahead

Time,
never tasted

Eyes, never read

And maybe
our need
was,
the thrill
of the chaste

Where seconds
are eons  
and echoes,
erased

The wave of the sea

Son, stumble and fall

Cinder of summer
my winter,
of walls

And sitting on
cobblestones

Covered with mist

I press on your
smile

The lips you have
kissed

For all I can
give you

Are waves
on the
beach

Bringing you
endless

Words that can’t
reach

The sunset is slipping

A bird
flutters by

The breath of our
closeness

Lie deep, in your sighs

Oh my,  this sure brought on a deep, breathless sigh.
Your writing touches me and reaches deep in my heart.
So very lovely, this.  I could go on and on...and on!  
Suffice to say, you and your poetry are very special. x/o
