Be A Valentine

Oh what a Valentine God would have to make! bigger than a loving home a classroom a cathedral a universe perhaps -- let us help by each doing one's humble diligent part Fall on the mushy sword! choose one heart at least to start choose One Love to fondly begin think of prince and princess returned slipper ball -- or let One Love choose you and enjoy the one-day, tender squall~ even if only on this open-heart, special occasion... (Let the moths fly out!) (Let the fever of love be your furious~ delirious, physician-prescribed psychotic bout!) Make that manic shout! Email, send a card, make that precious intimate call! (poems for extra points) Be a Valentine~All!!!

Awwn i loved the energy in thisx yes let love fill the air and express and share what you have within for those around and for the special ones that one may be connected to. I really love the lines “even if only on this open-heart, special occasion... (Let the moths fly out!) (Let the fever of love be your furious~ delirious, physician-prescribed psychotic bout!)” made me smile! Hah this is such a clever and witty take on valentine and the last line i agree with! Yes! Hope valentines day went well for you. Sending you light always

Thank you, IE; it was a fun write. When things come straight from the heart, it is a lot easier to compose. Thank you, my friend.

Hell Joe, I love the mix of humor and warmth in your message brings a smile to my face and an upbeat rhythm to the heart. I especially love how you invoke the feeling of "One Love," whether found or given, and the playful tone that encourages everyone to dive into the spirit of the day. You've captured the energy of the day perfectly! Happy Valentines Day, My Friend, Daniel

- "Let the moths fly out" ... I can remember the smell of mothballs that were all over the house, at my childhood friend's house ... it smelled "old" :))) - Doesn't sound romantic :))) - I'll send you an email with a bunch of poems and lots of hearts :) - hugs
