Love After After
Listen to poem:
Time for laughter
Time for love
Love the people
Love this season
Season of greetings
Season of Lights
Lights and magic feel alright
Lights of colors green and gold
Gold Christmas morning
Gold not cold
Cold winds blowing
Cold sorrel in my mouth
Mouth with carols singing
Mouth filled with food and wine
Wine lifting spirits
Wine to reggae beats
Beats that keep my body moving
Beats throughout the streets
Streets enticing run run come
Streets ablaze with people food and fun
Fun for one
Fun for all
All day and night
All over until
Until the music stops
Until the lights go off
Off they go
Off to sleep
Sleep so sweet
Sleep so deep
Deep in my mind things I call dreams
Deep though they are still shattered by beams
Beams through my window a kiss from the sun
Beams of pure gold saying Christmas has come
Come with good tidings and presents galore
Come each year better than before
Before the others start to rise
Before I miss this perfect chance
Chance to see things still intact
Chance to claim the biggest prize
Prize I have waited for all year long
Prize I quickly open singing a song
Song sung in wonderful screaming and shouts
Song of excitement waking the house
House warmed with echoes of laughter
House filled with the promise of happily ever after
After all the Christmas cheer
After what you got still give
Give…
Cheer…
