Friends I've Never Met
Just a Christmas Wish
What I really want for Christmas
is to hold your soul
in the hands of mine,
as to trespass our physical frames
and let the immaterial touch the immaterial,
since there would be no boundary then
that we have to contain ourselves within,
no touchable reality that we have to respect,
no rules or regulations that we have to obey.
For there should be no guilt
in the aura of love,
no remorse
in the glimpse of happiness
no place or timeframe within which
we should freeze
or behave
the way we should,
thus suddenly growing too old and too wise
and just spectators to life.
If only I could hold your soul
in the hands of mine…
Gently.
