CHRISTMAS TREE
That...
Christmas Tree
It calls to me
Says put me up
Let the good will in
But we both know that
It just won't win
This year
It stares at me
From its dusty place
On an unwashed floor
By the locked up door
In this unloved home
Where no angels roam
This year
For we both know that,
There's no more space
On the unit there
Where your not here face
Takes pride of place
On the still black lace
This year

Marion a poem of melancholy and loss and personally for me recently a certain anniversary
One that hits home and is not lost on this reader, for your words and monochrome image says it all.
I'm wishing you well my friend and hugs to you too. x.
Aw...I'm.so sorry that you're feeling this too Shaun, I always loved Christmas with a passion, that in itself is another loss. Many hugs back 💕
Marion it is just one of those anniversaries that has passed recently and just got to me.
Not only of that little soul not being here, but what could have been was the equal heartbreaker.
And we have to endure and to move on, but we kid ourselves and others that one is doing fine.
But good happy memories of light never fade and are eternally crystal clear.
And I'm glad it's that way. x.
Ah...I'm.glad you find memories a comfort Shaun...for me they are bitter glass that puncture my heart. My life is empty without my beloved son and my two gorgeous dogs this year...I do not have the good grace or strength of character to pretend I am any more that what I am right now and have been all year...broken in pieces on the floor screaming abuse at a god I no longer believe in... many hugs to you Shaun xx
You have to know how to get into the spirit of the season. Thoughtful composition.
Thanks for sharing. All the best to you at this special time of year.
I used to know the spirit of the season Richard...I have no wish to 'get into it' these days...thankyou my friend x
Christmas can be agony, and no one will know this unless they have a reason too. You don't have to have a tree up. Last year mine went up on Christmas eve and it came down on Boxing day. I used to love Christmas but everything that makes it warm and fun makes it devastatingly cold and lonely when you suffer loss ( loss of any kind). Another brilliant piece of poetry x
All your words are true...I am.even mourning the loss of my love of Christmas ...where does it end, there's no hope lol...thanks love 💕
