Pre-Christmas Reveries

Warm was my heart last December
So cold and frozen this December
Many a thing I came to remember
Winter is cold and my heart colder


Christmas! It’s not gonna be the same
A season to celebrate put to shame
In the wake of an ethnopolitical game
A stint of euphoria and joy set aflame


Everything reminds me of last winter
Indelible fellowships filled with laughter
Was cheerful and joyous nothing better
Now every single thing sour and bitter


Never knew old snaps pour emotions
Nor old videos filled with sensations
And songs full of melancholic notions
All makes me packed with desolations


Singing “Joy to the World” will be hard
For there is less exhilaration in my heart
“Feliz Navidad” will be wistfully unheard
But ne’er will I and the baby born be apart.
