Merry Christmas Baby
if there was a gift more perfect...
to lay at your feet or place in your hands
to give that you could feel the heavy heart
and know the peace you bring
and if ever there was victory
over the insufficent nature of words
let it guide you home to love
wishing as the cold sets in to the world
and melts from my heart
that you could know what your love has done
how your soft eyes
demanded the best
and accept no fear
that your touch guides me away
and your words bring me back
that it is love we've made
in the darkest of our days
and all i have to give is the gift of words
m.e.j.
Too Great a Thing to Pass
it was always too late
to stop the heart from falling
or run from the seduction of love
when there are too few stars in the sky
how was i to turn from the light of you
so please follow in my beautiful tragedy
and replace hopelessnes with faith
just warm yourself in this blessing
and know that it was too great a thing to pass bye
m.e.j.
