Dear Valentine

Dear Valentine, you drive me wild I grab those chocolate morsels, those cream-filled irises; and smile. I can see you’ve melted; I’m warmed by your spiralized eyes that speak better than any candy heart, lead me to the silky sheets; in my imagination there are rose petals (we can’t afford). Those open eyes, will close, and a yawn will eventually allow you to breathe; spent by the oneness we shared; spared death.

Thank you, Andrea! I gave my Valentine a bitmoji of him drinking a cocomut drink me, along with this poem. Hung it in his office. Tomorrow we go out for the anniversary of our 45th meeting! HVD, dear Valentine!

Dear Kim, First, let me say you better save some of those chocolates for my wife! Truly, what a playful yet intimate dance between affection and desire. Chocolate, cream-filled irises, and the spiral of eyes convey a lighthearted sensuality with quiet vulnerability. Your words have this delightful way of balancing humor and intimacy, leaving me with a smile. Happy Valentines Day, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Thank you, Evelyn! We met on Valentine’s day 45 years ago.

Very romantic -- dearness, nearness is death in a sense: one becomes the other and the other becomes other. Man learns and looses his physicality, and begins to experience His spirit in full rose bloom. Whether in a bedroom or under a full, effulgence moon -- or on a beach glorifying together the suns magnificent doom -- God is there when two have vowed as one to care. Even in imagined death lovers do not part...but ascend to an even greater shared loving heart.

This is quite a Valentine statement, Kim. Some near-death moments on those silky sheets (rose petals or not) are worth losing a breath or two. ;-)
