the pale blue evening sky inhales
excitement of ’s festive air
orange red banners festoon the house,
orange red banners festoon the house,
brighter than the night’s starry glow
sparklers, blow horns, wine glasses,
sets the clock ticking closer to
the seconds leap from here to tomorrow,
binding our embrace checkered tight
moments like these stitch our arms,
day and night, black and white, sun and moon
day and night, black and white, sun and moon
flickering overhead as the countdown begins,
your lips bend close and savor my red wine lips
ever changing passage of new year’s cheer
still, never changing love on my tongue lingers
.
Happy New Year !!!!
