And those the
Craziest shown are
The craziest least
Come now do
You not know
Know know this
Game that which
You think is
Really is not
That which you
Think truly is
Nothing truly is
Until those that
Are willing to
Forgo their is’ism
Which is an
Abomination for who
Are they but
Themselves amongst a
World of nobodies
And with one
Hand I pulled
Myself from sleep
For with the
Other I was
Holding you there
Unsure which was
The nightmare here
Awake and alone
Or there asleep
Knowing that you
Were the one
Dreaming of me
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
We’d promised to
Be together on
Christmas Eve which
You then broke
I said cold
Icy hurtful things
Because I was
Alone and heartbroken
Turning away I
Let you go
But then like
The miracle of
Love that Christmas
Is you kept
Your promise by
Writing me we
Are great friends
To each other
You said and
Won’t end this
Way in silence
You see that
A star appeared
Just as legend
Said that hope
Does exist here
Between us reminding
Me that that
Is the true
Meaning of Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone
