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…
