  • Apple Rolls

    What's this, mother? 
    - I don't know, Let's discover!
    What could be in this bag? 
    - Oh, look, a pair of gloves and mistletoe! 
    A Santa magic ball and two pine cones; 
    three angels with flutes, a bow and Christmas balls. 
    Oh, look! A heart and ginger bread...
    And Apple Rolls! You remembered! 
    the child jumps around joyously dancing
    - You remembered! You remembered! 
    - I sure did! 
    The night is slowly falling, her cover of dark ink
    Dolling. 

    Blessed a night, 
    With no fallacy snowflakes cover the grounds, 
    The air touched
    With white fairies, unique, caressing memoirs 
    Pristine hearts. 

    Blessed, the moon rises
    Above pine trees and fir, at the pass of each cloud
    Staring into the dark proud. 

    The hour of kisses under mistletoe arrives. 
    Cards, still, lingering on tables, in the air sweetness of cake, 
    Paces of a stranger showing a loner path, 
    Caramel whiff, Carols lift into the drizzling canopy, 
    Bells tolling, memories falling and calling 
    For help. 

    He knows nothing of this, the loner, 
    Empty his heart, leaving all hope behind, 
    Refilled with tears, 
    His mind produces magical dreams. 

    In praise of past illusions, love for life, 
    Love for laughter, love for the lost...
    Rebirth of love divine, 
    In loved shells chosen,
    The sky's bright darkness manifests. 

    Of clear conception,
    Inception, blue fill...
    To come on the morrow
    When Santa's gifts we'll find 
    Under our trees, 
    When hearts of true will offer
    More than empty smiles
    And a cup of coffee... 

    A sign of blissful charm, enchanting
    A world devoid of magic and love. 

    "Better to be cold than destroyed, 
    Crushed under the mighty need to feel all-mighty. 
    Better a cold star than a burden
    To your own world."

    Of pristine conception,
    Inception, blue fill...
    Love means sacrifice
    And sacrifice's treated today
    For stupid act of treason to the self,
    To good old reason... 
    Charms enchanting cups of hot chocolate
    To ease a child's pain. 

    In praise of past illusions, love for life, 
    Love for laughter, love for the lost...
    Rebirth of love divine, 
    In loved shells chosen,
    The sky's bright darkness manifests. 

    The hour of kisses under mistletoe comes back. 
    Cards, toys, ribbons and lights floored, flavour of cheesecake, 
    Shadows of the past and footprints left around, 
    Caramel whiff, Carols lifted to gently touch the angels, 
    Bells tolling, memories falling and calling 
    For help. 

    Blessed, the moon rises
    Above pine trees and fir, at the pass of each cloud
    Staring into the dark aloud.
