The Lovers’ Chronicle 25 December – Happy/Merry/Bahumbug Y’all! – waitin’ – art by Hans von Bartels

Dear Zazie Lee,  Happy Holidays from all of us at the ranch.  Mac Tag is headed off to the mountains.  Jett is spendin’ it with his kids.  Me, I am stayin’ here at the ranch.  Hope you have a Merry Christmas!  Rhett

Dear Muse,

found what i wanted
not under the tree,
actually,
there was no tree
but i got what i wanted
no, not from Santy
and it was on
Peachtree Street,
not 34th Street,
but it damn sure
felt like a miracle
and it was not
white or blue,
it was the best
Christmas
with you

no more waitin’
made a choice
took a chance,
though really
not much of one
because i knew
quit relyin’ on the wind
or what the hell ever,
to make my way
“You know I always had you.
Just waiting for you to find
what you were looking for.”
no more pretendin’
all i am findin’ now is you

© copyright 2019 mac tag/cowboy coleridge all rights reserved

the fact that i get it
about you,
is the best thing
i have goin’ for me

no need to make
a list for Santy
no dreams
of any kinda Christmas
and no need to cue Elvis

i had my chance
at makin’ wishes
just took too long
to figure out
what i always wanted

i have all i want
here waitin’

cold, clear night walkin’
out to the edge of the caprock
under a star strewn sky
raked by the wind
standin’, waitin’
for somethin’, a sign
i imagine you comin’ closer,
your hair tossed by the wind
and the dark becomes desire
the nearness of you as i stand
on this lonely night waitin’
why do i believe you will come
out of nowhere
why with all that you can have
would you come only because i am here
