Connie Marcum Wong Poet Sonnet

Valentine Hearts

I close my eyes and you, my love, are there.
I hear your deep voice as in our love song:
“Endless Love”, you sang, and I am aware
Your missing arms are where I most belong.
So many years we learned to share our parts
As our divine souls melded into one,
We loved each moment in our heart of hearts,
Such opposites we were, yet we had fun.
As this romantic lover’s day arrives,
My memories of you are crystal clear.
You Rest In Peace my love, yet our love thrives,
My spirit feels your spirit always near. 

Deep in my heart I know you still are mine.
You will forever be…….my Valentine.

Malabika Ray Choudhury January 28, 2022 at 1:45 PM Dear Connie, Such a heartfelt emotion expressed in this most beautiful sonnet. The last two lines are true - he is forever yours, and you are his! Love ~ Mala Connie Marcum Wong February 3, 2022 at 1:15 PM Thank you Mala. My husband was a romantic, always buying me roses and flowers. He grew roses too and orchids and had a green thumb. We smell the incense he used to burn at odd times and we know he is near in spirit. Thank you. Blessings xxoo

Jennifer Proxenos January 18, 2022 at 10:29 AM Connie this is absolutely awesome poetry, so sentimental and touching, like angels are playing what your words write in your poem , but they are playing them out, on a harp. Your valentine will somehow send you a message on that so romantic day, I do believe that loved ones that have passed on do communicate with us, my father used to smoke a pipe, I often smell the aroma of his tobacco on his birthday, or mine, once on Christmas day. Best of luck in the contest Connie, Blessings, Jennifer. Connie Marcum Wong January 22, 2022 at 6:37 AM They say if you think of them and mention their name they will be with you in spirit. I will certainly be thinking of him and missing him on Valentine’s Day. Thank you for your insightful sweet comment Jennifer. Blessings xxoo

I love the forever aspect you underscore in these words, and that carries over into the next life.
