Silent Night

A quiet cozy house

Him and I there together silently loving

While candles burn brightly and

Smoke rings curl around our heads

Making a halo – joining us together

All is calm

He smiles at me and of course I smile –

I love him!

A lighted Christmas tree,

His reflection dancing gently on the

Wall,

My body caressing his.

We say so much and yet a voice is

Not heard

I bury myself within his soul, and he

In mine

Little stars twinkle in the moistness that

Spills from my eyelids and he understands

He has touched me and I must share

The joy and I do

He receives with gladness

Candlelight embraces us and tender

Gentle kisses of today’s delight

Happy salted tears that sink deep within

His beautiful skin

I shiver from the touch of him

Tomorrow’s dream is yesterday’s happiness

As we blow the candles out and retire………  

Sleep in heavenly peace

“Happiness doesn’t lie in conspicuous consumption and the relentless amassing of useless crap. Happiness lies in the person sitting beside you and your ability to talk to them. Happiness is clear-headed human interaction and empathy. Happiness is home. And home is not a house – home is a mythological conceit. It is a state of mind. A place of communion and unconditional love. It is where, when you cross its threshold, you finally feel at peace.” Dennis Lehane
