I cried,
She danced.
The snow began.
It turned to rain.
And I loved her more
Than each crystal in the sky
Or each droplet
On the ground.
We were lost
Caught cold against the moon
On Christmas night.
I was frozen
You were warm
And your hand
Felt like fire,
Holy fire,
Christmas night
Oh, that holy,
Christmas night.
Caught cold against the moon
On Christmas night.
We were warm
If only for a moment
Christmas night.
*Inspired by Christmas Canon from Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
dang. quite evocative...i like the measure of contrasts...and for that fleeting moment, we were warm...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brian. I think of so many things beyond the context of the song when I hear Christmas Canon.
DeleteQuite an awesome poem there Ben. Yes, evocative but so beautiful. You have a gift with words my friend. Merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susie! So do you :-)
DeleteSweet! :)
ReplyDeleteI try to be ;-)
DeleteThis is great Ben. Romanticism sprinkled throughout. Love at Christmastime, even when fleeting, is a beautiful thing.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to think that even fleeting love isn't truly fleeting.
Deletemerry merry chiipotle christmas dreams . . . nice poetry for the season . . . flickering holiday warmth? I'll take even that small unpromised amount.
ReplyDeleteWhy unpromised? :-)
Delete"Caught cold against the moon" makes me think of two silhouettes joining as one, with the moon as the background.
ReplyDeleteThat's another poem in itself :-)
DeleteChristmas and romance..beautiful combination.
ReplyDeleteThe best and most beautiful.
DeleteOh, I have lovely pictures in my brain right now. ;)
