Another Christmas Without You

For my mother.

Glimmering silver and gold

Upon the snow covered trees

Christmas lights hung up high

On every house I pass by.

 

It's that time of year again,

The season of spreading joy

But frozen in time is my heart

To not have you here by my side.

 

Unable to feel my senses

Lost in the darkest of my memories

Colored hues of red and green fade

Into a cold mist of black and grey.

 

Icy tears glitter within the moonlight

Christmas just isn't the same

When a daughter has no mother

For smiles and gifts to exchange.

 

Silent whispers in the wind, glistening

Images of you on falling snow

My heart aches as it comes near

Another Christmas without you.

Make this better? Oh no, you honestly can't make this any better. It's already the best it can be. It's a real inspiration for me, and I do hope you keep writing. You have talent.
I'm feeling sorry for you, not being able to see your mother.
Keep writing. It'll take your mind off things, help you relax, and make you a little happier, hopefully!

A poem that comes from one's hearts treasure trove of memories, stand heralded as flawless, for the images and feelings of one's personal past, can't be made any better than what has already blessed the page from the writers soul.
This was beautiful and I find myself looking back at my own losses. Top notch poem!

A very good poem. You expressed sadness and loneliness for a missed person. I like the feel and the emotion in the words. Hard to be separated from people we love and need. Thank you for a outstanding poem.

I have no suggestions at making this better... it is PERFECT the way it is. You write with such emotion and I love it. It helps the reader easily put themselves in the situation and experience the emotion being portrayed in the poem. Another great write to read!

This really hit me hard, it was beautiful and yet haunting. It was crisp like walking on snow and breathing in winter, I always get sad around x-mas so it felt sorta custom made for an audience like me. One of my favorite pieces I've read of you in a while. /96

I CAN RELATE .. .. JUST WRITE WHAT YOUR HEART FEELS .. YOU ARE YOUR OWN INSPIRATION .. THE HOLIDAYS ARE SAD AND LONELY FOR MANY .. IT IS A GOOD TIME TO REFLECT ON THE GOOD TIMES THAT WERE, AND CAN BE AGAIN ..
