Notes About The Poem

My Happy Christmas Present

Wrapped

With thought,

One present ...

Meant just for me,

And arranged lovingly under the tree.

So pretty, tied bright with ribbons and bows ...

It's all I want

This wintry

Christmas -

You.



You,

Alone ...

Velvet skin,

Bow lips, teasing ...

Ribbons of silken tresses decorate ...

Oh, what wondrous magic must lay inside!

Yet sweeter, still,

To open

Very ...

Slow.



Yet,

Question -

Where to start?

Ah, choice, divine!

Yes, the trimmings are exquisite, indeed ...

But, oh, the warm yuletide treasure within!

Time to unwrap

My Christmas

Angel ...

You.
