Valentine

Come walk with me
as I taste the field of our love
full of sweet incandescent blue's
the subtle darkness of our fights 

Love is like the rose both bitter sweet 
the thorns of love bite deep 
on the winter fields of discontent
with sadness do I taste the bitter nights

Yet how sweet is our love 
how tender the caress of the morning air
how sweet is our embrace 
the morning's shifting warmth 

To say I love you 
a simple word that carry's the weight of the world
a word the has brought city's to their knees 
a word that has carried people to the ends of the earth 

continents and mountains are no barrier
love each day brings life to the living
light to the darkness of life
igniting the soul, creating the wings

My valentine 
I embrace your soul with my love
I embrace your heart with my compassion
I embrace your love with my warmth 
I embrace your life with my desire 

Dedicated to my valentine
