Christmas



"Christmas"

I’ll stay with you 
towards Christmas
those 12 days 
and beyond

a strange few days
we meet in the nether
and hold on ...
like there’s no tomorrow

while the gryphons
try to work out 
which side their
mind and body is on

12 days 
gifting partridges 
their pairs in trees
hidden in the myst

Christmas is 
as Christmas does
its extremes and sublimities,
its oh so ... immaculate mess

I’ll stay with you
towards Christmas
those 12 days 
and beyond

rocky road 
devoured
and trifles 
expunged

cherry ripened
cheery 
hearts
are us

I’ll stay with you
towards Christmas
those 12 days 
and beyond

‘cause,
Poetry 
is 
Us

isn't it 
magic?

'cause 
Poetry 
is 
Us?

Love
to you 
wherever you are
never alone 

my beautiful one,
there is no ugly
here today in my 
heart - 

for you
at Christmas, 
alone
Love to you, 

'cause
Poetry is Us

I’ll stay with you
towards Christmas
those 12 days 
and beyond ...

'cause
Poetry is Us

"Love" your pictures. I want the sign from the cat "I Hate People." Sad but some days I am with the cat. The one asleep in the window is tooooo cute. A wonderful "Christmas" write. Love your line, "cause Poetry is Us." So True. Poetry/Christmas is magic if we will look for it. Have A Very Blessed Christmas..........
