The Christmas Gifts

[boothros]

It was ideas of Christmas that made Bodie say,
"Goodwill to all men! You fancy it Ray?
If the idea appals you, you never have said,
but if its a good one, why not come to bed?"

With infinite shyness, Doyle lowered his gaze.
Then slowly he smiled, his eyes all ablaze.
Quickly releasing a breath that he'd held,
Bodie gave thanks that Ray wasn't repelled.

With confidence growing, they both took a hand,
then moved for the bedroom, a warm promised land.
But just at the threshold, Ray paused by the door.
"There's just one thing scares me, what if I want more?"

"A bit of fun's nice and I never say never,
But fun is just that, whilst love is forever."
The soft spoken words turned Bodies eyes wet
"If forever's on offer, forever you'll get."

The loving was gentle then frantic and free.
Then after they sat by the lights of the tree.
Their newly made promise still warming their hearts,
whilst gently mulled Sauvignon warmed other parts.

And when they returned to the warmth of the bed,
Tired thoughts of happiness filled Bodies head.
'I'll get him a present, just something to keep,
to show how I love him and how very deep.'

And as Doyle drifted he thought the same thing.
'I must get him something to make his heart sing.
A thanks for his love to remind him of me,
A small little keepsake but what could it be?'
