Collected Poems
Only a Glimpse of You
Listening to Crosby's Christmas song
Envisioning worlds where we belong
Of Christmas trees
and sparkling things.
Of lips that kiss so perfectly.
A fireplace
A smiling face
Of my arms wrapped around your waist.
Of all the gifts I long to send.
Of pillows shared
when we pretend.
Of Saturday mornings
cartoons on
a child's kiss
a birthday song.
Of wonderlands
and moonlit sands
of time that won't slip through our hands
Enamored passions
under fire
and all your love
that I desire.
To wind swept sky's
and alibis
And all the shadows where we hide.
Of darker times
On clouded days
When if our love should fade away.
Just take these words
and hold them dear
and soon my kisses will be near.
And as time
saunters by
like a winter's moon
You'll always know my love was true.
