LOVE TIPS THE SCALE
Life is a question of balance
And love tips the scales
Some give a false accounting
But a steady love never fails
UNDER THE CHRISTMAS MOON
Moonlight glinted
On the frozen land
Of the silent vale
Dressed crisply
In winters cloak.
A shooting star
Flashed across the sky
And I made a wish
Nothing profound
Just a simple thing
But immensely special
Because I wished
For a Christmas kiss
With the girl I loved
THE DAY I SAID GOODBYE TO HER
The day I said goodbye to her,
Replays constantly in my mind
And it’s a familiar memory
Of the most destressing kind
I have tried to move on but I left
The love of my life behind
MY PRETTY LITTLE MISS
The first time I met
My pretty little Miss
We needed mistletoe
To share a Christmas Kiss
Now when I meet
With my pretty Miss
We need no artificial aid
For us to share a kiss
And when we meet
And we share a kiss
Every day is Christmas
For me and my little Miss
HE WAS GOING ON A BLIND DATE
He was going on a blind date
And was in a very nervous state
About meeting someone new
And was not sure what to do
What if he was out classed?
What if she left him aghast?
He panicked when he saw her
Because she was even lovelier
He found after he arrived there
She began talking about a Polar Bear
And she rambled on more and more
Which she eventually apologized for
And laughed at his reaction
And explained the reason for her action
Stating they were converse makers
As Polar Bears were real ice breakers
THE GRINCH AND THE ELF
When love was taken from him
He was left bereft, and his heart stopped
And his world was transformed
To a place of ice and snow
Where his cold heart,
Once over flowing with love,
Froze solid in his chest.
So he came to like the winter
With its long cold nights
And short dismal days
He found comfort in the season
And its bitter unfriendly ways
Only Christmas spoiled it for him,
Disrupting his misery,
With its joyous music,
Gaily decorated shops,
And of course its joviality
But then one day out of the blue
As he tried to avoid the jollity
It happened, his heart began to thaw
All because of an Elf
Or to be more precise
A girl in the green tights, pointy shoes,
Brightly coloured tunic and a cute hat
All it took was one smile
For the connection to be made
And she had him body and soul
Although he was unaware
It was a mutual attraction
Because she didn’t show her hand
And played hard to get
She wanted him, but she made him work
To win her, to pursue her
To prove that he was worthy
So it wasn’t until Christmas Eve
That the Elf yielded to the Grinch
And they kissed by the light of the moon
Before attending midnight mass
UNDER A BITTER SKY
Beneath the marbled skies
Of broken, fractured cloud
And the myriad of winter hues
Coloured with grays and blues
I waited in the bitter frosty air
Feeling the sting of winters bite
Until the moment I saw you
And warmed instantly by the view
THE ROOM WAS FULL OF CHRISTMAS
The room was full of Christmas,
Steeped in the essence of the season,
Fragranced with Apple and Cinnamon,
And decorated in festive livery
Fresh cut garlands of evergreens,
Tinsel, candles and coloured lights
And on the peaceful Holy night
With the velvet drapes pulled shut
Against the bitter cold of winter
A perfect couple held each other
In the soft warm glow of firelight
And the cozy room was full of love
FROM A BOY TO A MAN
I knew I had grown
From a boy to a man
When playing in the snow
With boisterous mates
Held less attraction
Than making snow angels
With a pretty girl
UNDER THE CHRISTMAS SKY
Under the Christmas sky
Their breath plumed
In the frost filled air
And the night sky
Sparkled with stars
Like diamonds sewn
To the curtain of night
And they both sighed
Beneath its majesty
And felt so blessed
To be in love beneath
Such a Christmas sky
WIND BLOWN PETALS
Like wind-blown petals
Of spring blossom
The snow fell in gentle swirls
Quickly settling
On the frozen landscape
To delight the boys and girls
Then I kissed a snowflake
Off her wrinkled nose
As more settled on her curls
HOLLY DEAREST
Icicles hang from the gutters
All on the landscape is still
Ice crystals pattern the glass
Snow stands deep on the sill
Curtains drawn against the dark
As a fire roars in the hearth
While my darling lays in my arms
And love burns hot in my heart
HIS COMPLETE POSSESSION WAS BEGUN
His complete possession was begun
With sensuous dreams erotically spun
Of the redhead with soft alabaster skin
And the silk she was contained within
BLACK CHRISTMAS
Now that the one I love is gone
The season has left me bitter
My heart has lost its soulmate
And Christmas has lost its glitter
GRIEVING FOR A LOVED ONE
Grieving for a loved one
Goes hand in glove
Because grief is the price
That you pay for love
