In your eyes
I can find
no disguise
I can see
in those eyes
honesty
You’re the one
who by day
is my sun
From your glow
I can feel
your love flow
Moon by night
your light is
my delight
Like a quake
is the love
that we make
Earth shatters
and nothing
else matters
Sweet release
In its wake
I find peace
Sleep, my dear
When you wake
I’ll be here
Valentine
I’m so glad
you are mine

Our first summer,
love swept
in romance.
Tender moments,
hearts were kept,
let's dance.
Honeyed tender,
I slept,
as you glanced.
Two become
one, connect,
just one chance.
Bright orange
sun, reflect,
let's enhance.
Proposal,
I accept,
let's find France.
My dear man,
you are mine,
valentine.

Today I
take the time
to remind.
Remind stones
that they are
not alone.
Remind them
of their names
and their homes.
Remind grass,
soft on the
somber hill.
Remind me
of what is
past and still.
Remind you
of life's short
but sweet thrills.
Today was
and always
will be love.
Flowers to
you, below
and above.

Beautiful

Beautiful

On this day
Valentine.

I love you.
You're great,
you cutie!
Won't you please
be my sweet
Valentine?
Tonight I'll
dream of your
big blue eyes.
Tomorrow
you'll get the
card I sent.
I got yours
today. Thanks.
I love it.
Mom says I
have to end
this long text.
Hope you call
or text me
tomorrow.
See you at
school next week.
One more thing:
Without you,
sixth grade would
be so BLAH!

Low-cut dress
Jeweled excess
You inspire
Wine this eve
Let’s conceive
Our desire
Cordon bleu
Dancing, too
Hearts afire
My lament
Time’s descent
Night’s expired
