Valentine Mine
Be mine, the poet wrote
in the note on Valentine's Day.
But what does that mean, she asked
after reading his written words.
Mine is a thing belonging to the writer,
an abundant source of poetry;
a bomb that explodes when disturbed
spewing forth the emotions of love.
Do I disturb you, the poet asks.
You are an explosion waiting to happen, she says,
and I have been plundered too much
to be your your Valentine mine.
