Cecelia: Favorites

The moment cracks
in cleavage-- nothing
anymore seems to be the same
only the regretting and aching

the rock once impermeable
is in ravage-- weather-beaten
the last rose falls in late winter
the change of season has spoken

the sea has lost its vibrant voice
by its own waves neglected and forgotten
the night hides away in furtive silence
the heart of love has broken

the past belongs to me no longer
into the nowhere of time I have been driven
beauty asserts at my darkest hour
in vengeance: 'you have not been forgiven!'

Festive Memories

Festive memories being made
Children laughing all down the lane
Today is that special kind of day
Of the year for magic to appear
Because you’ll hear that sleigh
Knowing Santa is on his way

Oh **, it comes just once a year
A time for all to laugh and cheer
A feeling of merriment all around
And bells ringing that special sound

Festive memories being made
Children laughing all down the lane
Today is that special kind of day
Of the year for magic to appear
Because you’ll hear that sleigh
Knowing Santa is on his way

That mistletoe hung up above
Lights all lit up while nicely strung
Songs being sung down the street
Spying on gifts as the floor creeks

Festive memories being made
Children laughing all down the lane
Today is that special kind of day
Of the year for magic to appear
Because you’ll hear that sleigh
Knowing Santa is on his way

Christmas Cheer

Christmas Cheer

Ornaments and lights decorate trees
Traditions that we've made this to be
Presents are generous, but to be alive

Is the gift that continues to give
Because your presence
Is a present

Focus energy not on tensions
Or frustrations, but realizing
Appreciations for each lesson
Blessing, and silver lining

For Christmas cheer, is to be kind
To unite love like peace signs
And as we celebrate his birthday
To keep the good faith in mind.

I wrote this poem in honor of Christmas, last year. It's my first Christmas poem that I can remember dedicating to the holiday. I had also written a song about Christmas, but I'm pretty sure this was my first poem about it. I hope you find something to like. ^^
