Nette Onclaud Poet Quatrain

Holiday's Past Reveries

As Christmas beckons with season of cheer
I recall how we met, a hallway outside
Year Nineteen-Eighty in a film's premiere;
Offering your neck- scarf, we gently smiled.
 
Flurries drifted while in haste I agreed,
Invite for tea as we watched the moon fade
'Till season’s next, nuptial joy pealed
At 25, a mistletoe crocheted.
 
Tonight, the lights reflect your willow eyes       
Bestowing grace from Magi stars above
Flashback of theme songs yearns for unity;
Enduring a year of departed love.
 
The holidays cloak time; you hum my name
From spring's past budding to December’s snow,     
Alone, I toast reveries etched on life’s acclaim
Kisses missed from my long- gone mistletoe.
