Notes About The Poem

February - The Month of Love

The month of love arrives on cue
as January bids adieu,
and Cupid preps his bow and darts
to bind all lovers old and new.

And carefully, his path he charts,
and on his journey he departs;
for love is in the air once more,
and must be bound in lovers’ hearts.

For love will seek an open door,
and like a flood, inside will pour;
then through the sky like birds on wing,
the hearts of lovers start to soar.

For me, this love’s a year round thing 
that always causes hearts to sing;
the notes of love felt deep within 
are sealed by golden wedding ring.

Brandy Nicole February 3, 2026 at 1:49 PM Love is beautiful emotion, and I agree with you my sweet friend, it does linger in the heart all year.
