The lights, they twinkle
Like the stellar scintillation
And the nights, they chill
With disambiguation
Cuz the holiday cheer
Dissipates all fears
As reality looks right
Into your eyes
And remembrance holds
Your mittened hand
While you frolick
In the snow covered
Streets that lead us
Along the wrong directions
But always steer us back
Toward the warmth
Of yesteryear
Where life was so easy
And words flowed
Sweetly
Like a honey glazed river
Slowly trickling
Through your every thought
Snuggling into the shoulder
Of naïveté
Not knowing what the world holds
But hoping for the best
And dancing round the moments
That captured this entirely
When everything was nothing
Where nothing was right now
But together with the music
Made it magic, yes somehow…

poetry winter memories happiness

Look in my eyes and tell me
what you see.
A reflection of you,
or is it -

Only a memory…

A painting of the past
that slowly fades away
When you stop -
think about it,
Today’s just another day.

the thoughts in my mind
have kept my eyes blind
for everyone to see

What in the world am I saying
Here.
I don’t know?
it doesn’t matter anymore -
to Me.

Or does it…

Seem to be my subconscious thought
The very thing I wish
To forget - but cannot

Ever.

Lasting lifetimes
Though my former has
Gone away.

My world just keeps on
Spinning…
and a New Life begins today;
is the day.

Let me say -

The unsaid words that
Haven’t found my voice,
Emotion flows through my hands.

Please understand -

These understatements
as forever fails my explanation.
Time is the one thing
that has never been
on my side.
