I see no Christmas here Words in variance fence in sone In unheard subliminal tone. Ring around the bright of day Making shadows dark my way. Dark shadows that dim the light Turning light back into night. Leach and bleach my clearest view Ruing with blue my thoughts of you. And I find my self constrain Sitting by the windows pane. Staring into frosted air Watching snow flakes in despair. Yet Christmas lies next door a day And Santa speeds upon his way. His sleigh is full of Christmas cheer But he I fear, will not stop here. The atmosphere is hostile hot Severe and snow less on this spot. |

Christmas should be a happy time, but unfortunately for some it isn't. Well said. |

Ba hum-bug  bears get to sleep thru it all..  We could always spike the eggnog and steal the mistletoe... are ya game stinkie-winkie *smile* me I looked into the sky for my anthem The words and music came through But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen Looking into you |

I think Janet-with-her-later-'gator-style said it best... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Sy...as usual eloquence flows from your pen. Can you teach me that technique you have of placing words just so? I do so admire it - unique Syisms... hugs old friend...and thankyou muchly for the read. (I'd say merry christmas, but it wouldn't sound right ~smile~)  K |

** Our emotions are not easily 'turned off and on'..we are not machines. Holidays do not always supercede what we feel inside.** Your poem is well expressed and written with excellence. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mutington/joyce :) "I can live by myself, but not within myself." |

Yet Christmas lies next door a day And Santa speeds upon his way. His sleigh is full of Christmas cheer But he I fear, will not stop here. The atmosphere is hostile hot Severe and snow less on this spot. Well come here (although its cold) and we can make our own christmas cheer......just kidding...I dont even know you..but it sounded nice *s ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |
