Without reflections
None would see
How beautiful
Life can be

Mistletoe kissing
Can be fun
Linger too long
It's a roulette gun

Do not return
For a second kiss
Waste no time
To reminisce

A   parasitic attraction
With limbs attached
Growing around you
Passion snatched

Divine male essence
Is presented here
Then it fades
For another year

Sugar mice
Pink and white
Tree
Log fire
Candle light

Great Oak
Acorn ripe
Squirrels harvest
For long
Winter nights

Love not given
Or even shown
Cannot return
To unknown

Rustic leaves
Autumn’s crown
Seasons reign
Will
Bring
Them
Down

Perfumed candle
Laminar flame
Flickering stave
Casting shadows
Puppets misbehave
