My Valentine Contest

Valentine Poem Contest
Sponsor:  Nayda Ivette Negron

Part One

breathe new life in me
   release my infringed defeat
      obsolete sorrow has left

intimacy, free
   hold me in safety, my sweet
      death to my suffering cleft

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Part Two

starry nights, just us
   love me right under our moon
      do not rush, let's take our time

shower me at dusk
   I pray you marry me soon
      my dear man, my valentine
