Never Christmas
By Nathan Marchand

I walked down the empty street,
And along trotted a horse pulling an open sleigh,
Wherein rode two lovers, lost in each other,
Bathed in a rainbow of Christmas lights.

Cheeks met in a snuggle,
Snowflakes were brushed away by a caress,
Ears were tickled by whispered sweet nothings,
Lips were warmed with a kiss like fire.

I watched, and my heart was frozen
By the icy winds of loneliness,
Yet it wasn’t numb to the pang of longing,
Where Lost Love had pierced with dagger.
I’ve no one to warm my heart,
Where it’s never Christmas, only winter.

I’d trade all my gifts for a sweetheart!
     A Transformer for a hand to hold!
     A Blu-Ray for a sweet nothing!
     A Playstation 3 for a kiss!
     A plasma TV for a pledge of undying love.
Alas, it is all for naught.

So I watched as the lovers, horse, and sleigh
Vanished into the mists of the winter night.
I was again, as usual, cold and alone.
For me, it’s never Christmas, only winter.

  1. This was actually pretty good. I was seeing it all in my head as I read and it gave me a sense of… well loneliness. It was depressing but well thought out. I feel like that a lot of the time too but on Christmas, It’s never the hand to hold. It’s my family that matters. Though i admit I’ve never actually had an interest in another person during the holidays so I never really took the time to think of how special it could be.

    Oh, by the way, Don’t let my name catch you off. That’s my name too. Don’t be mad, you have to share. :p

    Anyways, I’m jealous I didn’t write this. Maybe one day you’ll read one of mine. One more thing though, A ps3 for a kiss? Hell, a ps3 for a little nookie maybe. There’s prostitutes on the corners that are cheaper than that. xD

  2. aha… Don’t hate me, But yes. I just Googled my name and was like, “Oh cool”. Don’t get me wrong though. I didn’t subscribe to this because we share the same name. I’m genuinely interested in what you write.

    1. I’m glad to hear that, Mr. Marchand (it’s kinda weird saying that to someone else). Have you seen that I published a novel a few months back? Would you like to read it?

  3. Yes, I saw. Pandora’s Box is the one you’re referring to right? I would love to read your book actually. I’m a tad blurry on the details of your book though. Would you mind explaining the summary or did I overlook it somewhere on your site? If you’d like feel free to message me sometime to my E-mail. Nathan_Marchand@yahoo.com
