This is another easy-breezy Poem with my lovely friend _Imperfect_Writing...  I believe we have real writing chemistry because the poem seems to shape itself effortlessly... It's always so nice to work with you , buddy. :))

****

To my Dearest,

Though distance may cry

For this space to diminish

I promise next Christmas

Will be different and

New...

No more texts after midnight

No more sleepless nights

Drenching my pillows

With tears of pine

Wishing you were

Mine….

Next Christmas

Loneliness will be crushed

Into little sticky shards

Hanging from a tree

Like a bittersweet

Candy cane...

I'll bake an extra patch

Of chocolate chip cookies

To dip it in your favorite

Old-fashioned eggnog

Just the way

You like it...

The house will glow

Inside and out

A tree of hope

Will loop its lights

Around my eager

Heart...

Next Christmas

Snow will knock on my door.

A mug of hot chocolate

Warming my hands

Marshmallows

On top...

A pair of furry slippers

Will hug my feet

As I watch

Sleepless In Seattle

In your arms

Holding you,

My Love...

****
