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.

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

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. ;-)
