Christmas-Romance!
Across yon icy-lake winter’s North-wind frigid-howls
Presents under the-tree: A-bat and a-ball! Pretty-dolls!
Spirit-bottle half-empty; a crystal-goblet askance-spilled
Warm-romance comforts a chill-air absent glasses-refilled
Toasty-cozy embrace beside hearth crackle flickering-firelight
Whisper-wind Love!-spoken emotion-born words invited-delight
Tender-“nothings” comfort the-ear of a damsel enamored-smitten
Contented-fantasy cozy as a warm-hand in a wooly-fleece mitten
Winter-winds howl in the-house open-eves shivering cold-bones
Lace filigree-frost enhances window-glass to Christmas-song tones
As bare-winter tree-limbs sway cadence-rhythm to a cold-night wind’s-wail
Whitetail-buck with his doe-harem hunker-warm under a copse-of-cedar vale
Racing scant-clouds wraith-skitter under an alabaster-pale full-moon
Midnight-hours slip-away to a holiday-dance blossoming a high-noon
On the-morn to toboggan-ride yonder-hill’s fresh new-snow
Ice-skate the crystal pond-surface spin-and-twirl private-show
Winter-time delicious-enjoy stark black-white daguerreotype pose
A-time to-reflect! A-space to-collect! Anticipate a-coming May-rose
On yon-horizon a-warm hinted-scent of an arriving Spring-greening
Valentine red-hearts give-way to an Ides-of-March warming-leaning
But---Until that-sometime?...Pine-scent! Ornaments! Tree-lights!
Another-log for the cozy-fire!---Soft-Love!...Christmas-delights!
Presents-wrapped in color-papered gold-ribbons in a dawn-exchange
A special-watch! An engagement-diamond ring! Conclusion not-strange
Next winter-season!?---Ole Santa Claus!...Baby-presents galore!
And---the “Good”-times roll-on!...Cozy-warm Love! the tally-score!
A time-of-Life! A space-of-Love! Sweet! Christmas-always Best!
Into a New-Year celebrating-Peace! A Blessed Trinity-crest!
Merry
Christmas!
