Keep Our Hearts In Tune! Poem by Gio Masserati

Holidays bring out vulnerabilities
Just ask me!

Everyone moved away
They
Kept my feelings at bay
No one ever knew
To this day, til now
Was waiting for the view
Waiting the holidays out
For you!

Was so vulnerable
Hiding my loneliness
Overdressed
Feeling ready, but,
Incapable of expressing
My love
...to my man, a family, some kids
Every single year
I wrapped all of this
Up
With no one particular
Ready for me to give
I see
I'm waiting for you-still
Face?
Different?
Look at me
I could swear it's you
Trying not to swear
In holy nights
My husband
Though I pictured You
There
It's okay
I'm still
Not in a hurry
Is that crazy?
I always have to be sure
A million confirmations
Will say I do
Believe
A lonely walk
But small price to pay
Knowing all the wild way
I'm worth it
So are you
Still, will wait for you

Please come home to me
Husband to be
Stars are calling
Our family to be
Please hold me
In reverence
As I hold you
Start up with me
On holidays
Special days
And not so joyous
Occasions out of tune

Waiting the holidays out for You
To whoever you are out there
Wherever you may be delayed
In being together with me
Hoping and praying
Your less lonely too
Someday we'll be one
Holidays will ring in tune
Until then,
Holy nights
Fill our lives
With hope that keeps
Up our spirits
Keep our hearts in tune!
