A Song for the Season

It has been one love's arduous journey
to say goodbye to black magic spells
and accept a wedding without you
despite the promise and it's aftermath:
that kiss beneath the rowan tree.

We were stealing a blessing we had
no right to - a romance for a nanny;
it was almost a fairy-tale:

make three wishes and catch a star
make it the topper ornament,
oh what a lovely tree, and
such a priceless gift, the card reads
"a home for your heart!"

Toss it out with the dross;
this holiday is anything but past
and the miracle is sold out:
standing room only at the lodge.

Three Christmas Wishes:

I found three shooting stars on Christmas Eve,
though I guess really, more than anything, they were

I.

So because you are not here to take the wishes
that I would offer you. I wish for you to enjoy
your holiday beyond belief. Smile as much as
possible while you're surrounded by the people
who love you most in the world - minus myself
(of course - everyone knows I'm 1600 miles away).

II.

Secondly, I wish that you knew just how brightly
you shine to me. Darling, you are the most stunning
angelic soul I have ever seen but at the same time
you are my lovely black hole my daemonic crimson
breath. The worst best friend of an addiction I have
ever known. This being said, you my love, are beautiful.

III.

And finally, my last wish for you, the one I hope for
most of all - I wish I may, I wish I might, get the wish
I wish tonight: I wish that starting this year you would
begin a Christmas tradition of having someone lovely,
someone brilliant and brave, kind and sweet pour
their heart out to you as purely as possible. Because you,
you my love, deserve nothing less than to have the entire
universe in the palm of your hand and this is as close as
I can get to offering you that. Please, take this as my heart.
