Standing atop the
Hill of battle
Surveying the carnage
And self destruction
I decide to
Stop with what
I have left
Men are formidable
Foes cunning strategic
Strangers in everything
Including love war
And simply life
No war or
Love was ever
Won without retreat
For many have
Fallen except me
I stand alone
And so he
Said we were
There somewhere in
A dream facing
Each other arms
And legs crossed
Like fallen trees
Whispering and making
The sounds that
Only lovers do
Sometimes fury sometimes
Rain sometimes sun
Sometimes sometimes the
Silence of snow
The one thing
That I’m not
Is patient and
Yet you keep
Pressing right there
It’s painful yes
But who but
You could press
There and not
Hurt me I
Hate you for
This and yet
Understand that sometimes
Those that love
Us most know
Right where and
When to push
My life is
Not about me
It is however
About others and
Their happiness and
It is right
There and right
Then that I
Find my own
Be happy please
So that I
May be also
You can’t understand
Don’t expect to
Just know this
Sometimes in life
Life gives you
The one thing
You don’t need
And challenges you
Make it yours
That’s my Christmas
Wish to you
