Holly

She shivers under a thick blanket 
twisted limbs seeking sympathy 
she envisions twinkling lights 
and the cinnamon scent 
of Christmas candles 
watching lovers’ 
mistletoe 
kisses 
melt 
~ * ~
hush
nearby 
approaching 
snowy footsteps 
and loving whispers 
puffs of billowing breath 
the joy of two newlyweds 
searching for holiday spirit 
as heavy branches sigh in relief

Although im not a very festive person and dont always appreciate festive poems, yours made my heart melt. With such detailed imagery. Beautiful! Congratulations on your win, thank you for your support. Hope holidays treat you well
