Big news! I published a book!! It’s called Light and Love. It’s a collection of Christmas poetry that I’ve written. The poems touch on subjects of light, love, Christmas magic, nostalgia, as well as grief and death. It’s available on Amazon as a paperback as well as a kindle edition. I’m running a promo on it and the kindle edition is available to read for free until Friday December 23, 2016. If you do read it, I’d love to know what your favorite poem in the book is! Also, if you like it, it’d help a ton if you could leave a rating or review on Amazon. Here is the link to my author page on Amazon where you can find both formats of the book. In honor of my 8th wedding anniversary today, I’d like to share a poem from the book.
Christmas with my Love
Christmas with my love, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be,
Nestled together by the fireplace, so cozy and warm,
Towering above us, is our majestic Christmas tree,
Illuminating our home with sentimental charm.
Gazing out the frosty window at the moonlit wintry scene,
Blankets of snow cover the fields around us,
And a dark pine tree forest sleeps in the distance.
The world is still, mesmerized by the snowflakes gently twirling down from the sky.
The crackling of the fire serenades us on this magical night.
Held in your arms, I can feel the beating of your beautiful heart,
The smell of your skin intoxicates my soul,
Flames cast a warm glow onto your handsome stubbled face,
Hypnotized by the flicker in your brilliant blue eyes,
You can see straight through me, no one knows me better than you.
You my darling are gentle and loving and mischievously alluring.
My dear, my love, what do you see in me?
Captivated by your deep voice softly singing carols,
My heart flutters as you pull me closer,
Slowly leaning in, your full lips delicately kiss mine,
I love you, I love you,
Your presence brings me peace,
With you I can let my inhibitions go,
Content to stay forever in this tranquil winter bliss.
Christmas with my love, my joy, my whole heart.
