Holly
Holy
by Lynn
Kupfer
|
on this
winter's night
let me fill
your stocking
with song
as the icicles
melt
into holly
holy rain
salty tracks
to be tasted
and cherished
while overcast
skies
are torn asunder
between your
heart
and mine
our souls joined
as one
by threads
woven in the stars of old
while the flame
elves dance
their ring
of fire on the yuletide logs
let me drink
of your holly
holy eyes
sparkling in
the candlelight
mystifying
wonders
to be found
in their depths
I don't need
mistletoe
to answer the
sweet enchantment
of your
parted lips
holly holy
dream
let me adorn
a garland of
kisses
upon your skyclad
flesh
promises of
ectasy and fulfillment
my hands
a gentle sleigh
following the
course
of your soft
smooth curves
and making
snow angels
at the hollow
of your back
my tongue
southward seeking
your delicate
pink ornament
hidden amongst
tiny downy wreaths
who could have
foretold
I would find
the precious gift of you
this Christmas
night
holly holy
dream
let me be your
shelter
take and wrap
this moonlight
blanket of my love
around you
and
sleep
in the heavenly
peace
of my arms
holly holy
love
