christmas minus the tree…

rise and celebrate

this year there’s no tree
but here’s my christmas present
all wrapped up and warm
right beneath the quilt  and sheets
my love who’s my lifelong friend

christmas morning…

sleep filled eyes
peer through
staircase rails
at a christmas bounty
the charge of the light brigade
restrained only
by an uncaring clock
that persists
in moving slowly
towards
the designated
hour

empty boxes…

wrapped
in brightly colored paper
the boxes
containing
everything
you
asked for
surround the tree
tinselled dreams
sparkling like stars
await the dawn
of christmas day
but
within the boxes
you will find
nothing
that you
need
no
love
