Fragrant the Petals

Fragrant the petals

Time moves so quickly
the sun comes to play
Caressing my thoughts
on this cold winter day

Soon it will follow
the path of my dreams
While looking for flowers
along gentle streams

A dozen or more
by the waters a’ flow
Fragrant the petals
this morning to show

That this day is special
as one I do care
Is waiting my poem,
my words here to share

For she says she’s never
it’s hard to believe
A Valentine message
her heart to receive

So here I have penned her
a wondrous bouquet
Of poetic flowers
so that I may say

You’ve touched me in ways
I have not known before
Inspired my smile, 
my laughter and more

So now I must ask you
if that would be fine
If you would agree to be
my Valentine

I have missed you and sensed you while longing for more of the above and the knowledge that you and your world are okay. Please be okay, or even better. Your still pen leaves a gap full of longing here on Soup but be and do as you need be and do, just know you're thought of. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
