Christmas Lights
Glowing, golden strands,
Of warm light,
Wrapped around columns and banisters, hands
Tucked into my lap, this isn't right....
Car windows, the portals to a "someday when",
You should be here with me, downtown in the old town,
Where we'll be then.
Wrapped up in jackets, hot cocoa, walking arm in arm, lifting today's frown,
Looking at all the Christmas lights,
And all the sights.
Of warm light,

Tucked into my lap, this isn't right....

You should be here with me, downtown in the old town,
Where we'll be then.
Wrapped up in jackets, hot cocoa, walking arm in arm, lifting today's frown,
Looking at all the Christmas lights,
And all the sights.

Dear Sabrina, I may have thought it was too early for an X-Mas poem...but your piece has changed my mind! A well thought out work...a clearly established tone with well blended tones.

Arrrggh! No Christmas poems allowed until AFTER Thanksgiving!!!
But ... this was lovely.
But ... this was lovely.
Well, I don't normally like anything Christmas until after Thanksgiving (except horror related), but the people living in the town over from us already begun putting up a few strands of lights, and I was feeling a little melancholy and just had to say how much I missed him (and still do), regardless of how out of season I am! 😅 (But I digress, I'm glad you enjoyed my work.)
