Stuck in bed this year

The pain is too much to bear

Stubbed my mistletoe

Kiss and an arrow

Love and loss so intertwined

Hang outside of time

Baldur died in fear

From a small forgotten plant

Which now sparks romance

Thanks to your intriguing lines I had to look stuff up about mistletoe before I could even think about writing something about it.

To continue the Baldur theme:

Green swag hanging low

From the arch of Baldur’s gate

Death by innocence

Nervous kiss, beneath

mistletoe, but life is cruel

As are spurned lovers

Truth😔

Held in Hodr’s hand

Guided by Loki’s treason;

Baldur’s bane indeed.
