"My Love (A Christmas Love Poem)"

If every gamma ray the sun threw off
From the dawn of time,
Were cased in a can,
And it were
Bursting at the seams,
It could not measure up to the energy I have
When I'm with you.

At this time of year,
At this time of family,
I tend to not show my heart,
It flees to the basement like a child with new toys.
But even behind closed doors,
It's laughter can be heard.
And I know you can hear it.

There are so many precious thoughts
I need to convey to you.
You make my heart laugh, dance, love,
And want to keep thriving.
 
When you smile,
I awe,
You laugh,
 I melt,
I've never felt 
So 
Alive.
And for me,
Someone who's felt dead inside
For too much time,
Well...
That's pretty good

To simply state what I feel:
"There is not enough time"...
Not enough time
To enjoy and share the moments,
I need with you,
Not enough time
To complete my
Never ending feeling of passion,
Grabbing me
By the heart,
Saying: "This is where I want to be."

I sit atop a mountain
Gazing across endless land,
Meadows, desert, ocean and beach sand,
That I've transcended,
And the answer is you.

You've made me alive
Where once I was further from living than
Pluto from Venus.

This winter,
Our love is delicate,
It is roses floating in the breeze.
This Christmas,
Our love will be warm
From head to toe to extremities bringing comfort,
Our love is a burning Christmas fire.

When the skies are blue,
Our love is tender
Two people laughing in the sun.
When thunder rolls, 
Our love is lucky,
A refuge from the pouring rain.

When spring flowers bloom,
Our love is bold,
Like blue petals on the orchid.
When autumn leaves fall,
Our love is silver,
Shining bright like a harvest sunset.

From Christmas till Christmas
Our love will continue to intensify. 
From season to season
I love you always!
My one, my only, my baby, my love.

I want to visit places upon places,
But none have substance,
Without two - mine and your - shining faces.
My presence is only meaningful with your graces,
Without your warmth,
There are no traces,
Of the man I am
With you,
My inspiration,
My confidence...
My pocket aces.

Just like your favorite Tinsel Tune this time of year,
♫"Last Christmas,
 I gave u my heart,"♫
But this Christmas,
We get yet another fresh start
Another year to impart,
All of our love,
To a perfect, little family.
​Last Christmas I gave you my heart,
And every Christmas you'll just get it again.

Love was always a fistful of sand,
Deceptive and slipping through fingers,
 But you are not sand,
You're my rock,
Our love solidified

You are my Christmas cookie,
Concocted of ingredients never duplicated,
And can't be replicated,
A sprinkle of beauty,
A peppering of smarts,
A couple smidgens of fight,
A healthy helping of heart,
Courage, confidence, determination aplenty,
About a cup of "handle situations gently",
A teaspoon or two
Of cautious spontaneity,
Definitely a helping of purity and bravery,
A dash of magic,
A hint of hypnotism,
Ground in some tenderness,
And...well the rest is a secret,
I know it, but won't peep it.
Now bake for a bit and top it off...

What's that topping you ask?
Its just the right mix,
A flash of crass and a little of that ass!  :)

I found you,
You found me,
We,
We made love
No - not like that...well,  yes like that, but...
We,
Together,
Became love.
I love you.

​Merry Christmas!

"My Love" is a love poem I wrote for my wife, and sent to her on Christmas. If you need a "Christmas Love Poem", feel free to write to me and use this in original form or make it your own!

Love poems come in all shapes and sizes. It's not generally my specialty - writing love poems that is - but once in awhile I think there is a special someone who deserves one for all of my shit that she puts up with. That special someone knows who she is :)
