A Christmas Love from My Old Grand

A Christmas antique postcard,

beautiful with edges marred,

carrying a faint tobacco scent,

deep, rich with a hint of a classy gent.

Elegant with his looping bent,

font in midnight black,

gracefully decorates the sepia.

hued card,

Impresses a tale of nostalgic love,

jolting me back in time where

keeping connected with the ones you

loved, was a treasured act of writing.

Meaningful musings,

never leaving a blank space

on the fated snowflake card full of grace.

Poetic sugary words of

quintessential love

radiate through this timeless postcard,

sending Christmas wishes.

Talking about their romantic tryst

under the Mistletoe,

very daring during the holiday show.

White hot passion vibrates through these words, as

zealous as Santa flying through the sky or the

xylophone’s bright chime.

Young in spirit, old in hand,

zips me through to another time, Christmas love, from my old grand.
