sliver of moonlight
glowing through deep drifts of snow
heralding christmas

On the first day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
a broken heart and an apology

On the second day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
a stumbling explanation
a broken heart and an apology

On the third day of Christmas
I escaped to Lanzarotte
to avoid my erstwhile lover
with a broken heart and an apology

angel on the tree
longs to return to heaven
away from the greed

his tiny dancer
candle in the wind loving
the pinball wizard

fairy and snowflake
glitter ball winter lovers
he melts into her

Born of hearts deepest secrets
brilliant fame blazing heat
yet never burning
Deep mountain springs flow
into sensual rivers

Transforming in deepest night
into the shape of a man touched by Midas
Jasmine scented abyssal angel

Deep shadows in the place of eyes
I will take you to my bed of spider silk
Vision entranced, fire serpent sybilene

Embracing the lightning reflected
in diamond faceted eyes
We are storm and shadow
within one living flame
