Christmas Is Coming!

BUT THE FIRE IS SO DELIGHTFUL! Frosty the Snowman is outraged as you take two snowballs & give him a more feminine aspect. He soon gets used to his sex change & is happy to be Miss Frosty especially when we build 'her' a more macho looking mate. And oh by the placement of that carrot one can see he is pleased to see her. I watch the words emerge from you in a little white cloud that slowly advances towards me as if we were cartoons the words I love you melting against my face. Mr. & Mrs Snowman smiling laughing. ******* OH THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS FRIGHTFUL! Naked we run out into the snow delighted at its appearance you covered me with a blanket of snow then lay on me ‘til even the coldness melted licking snowflakes off my eyelids we shivered with excitement more snow falling on your shoulders on your hair as we became our own snowman...snowwoman. ******* FAR FAR AWAY She only knows that she does not know. Tears in her eyes blur the real and unreal. Her world falling apart in the falling snow. She can only feel that she can not feel (The bitter cold invades her soul) . She only knows that she does not know. She feels so...stupid...she feels such...a fool. Church bells shatter the silence peal after peal her world falling apart in the falling snow. Voices in her head she can’t control memories that only pain can reveal her world falling apart in the falling snow. Ice steals across the pool. Only the snow knows what it attempts to conceal. She only knows that she does not know... ...her world falling apart in the falling snow. ******* SNOW FALLS She wakes to a morning with no reason for living cries in the mirror to be forgiven. Puts on her makeup takes off her clothes sits there & bleeds until she can’t feel the blood in her veins ...runs cold. The cat cries to be fed. The batteries in her Walkman go dead. The Rachmaninov stops. A letter she will never read drops on the Welcome mat. A mobile rings & rings &...stops. A member of a minor political party looking for her vote rings the doorbell twice slips on the ice & ruins his coat. Curses. A man laughs at another man’s joke. It’s a big laugh...he’s a big bloke. Laughter invades the square. There’s a chill in the air. A friend calls for her (to go on a blind date) ...she doesn’t hear. Snow... ...snow... ...snow falls. ******* LET IT SNOW...LET IT SNOW... LET IT SNOW! Your breath hangs in the air like a speech bubble. Words & laughter melt like snowflakes on the tongue. * * * Your death hangs in the air like a burst bubble. Dearest ghost... only love & memory holds you near. ******* A SINGLE SNOWFLAKE And I awake inside the dream desperately trying to find a single snowflake in a snowstorm lost in the past forever happening a single snowflake landing on my tongue as I looked up and the storm began so gently & then cruell as a tyrant terrifying the land with a cold iron hand & how we hugged & kissed clung to ourselves for all we were worth like a bell rung wildly shattering the sky love depositing us in this gentle bed smiling at our humanness. ******* CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS Feeling merry we Sing Tra la la la la la... But soon change our tune You put your new stockings on & soon it’s an...Oh la la!
