Gift

When I first saw the gift in front of me,
I was excited by its curling bow,
Its bright blue paper beaming beautif'lly.
And after some time, I unwrapped it. "O!"
I said, "Why it's a book of poetry."
Its cover intrigued. I read a po-
em about a pirate of some fancy,
Who had no treasures of gold to bestow
Upon his fair maiden. His destiny;
The poet's rambling, didn't impress me, so
I set the book aside. A sad trophy
Collecting dust. A minor memento.

And then something happen'd, almost divine,
One day that book said, "Be My Valentine!"

If Love Be Ever So Blind

If Love be ever so blind
        The attraction to such fair a grace
Would scarcely be so strong defined
        But fade sharply off with ne'er a trace
If Love be ever so blind.

If Love be ever so blind
        Warm breath would not escape
A soul when adoring eyes do find
        The stellar charm hair does drape
If Love be ever so blind

If Love be ever so blind
        Rainbows would be a vivid gray
Lost amidst the clouds, undefined;
        And night no longer contrasts the day
If Love be ever so blind

If Love be ever so blind
        When such a vision lights the darkest sky
The sun, moon and stars entwined!
        Why can I see so clearly, why?
If Love be 
            ever so 
                        blind

Teddy Bear

Alone he sits in my room
    and waits for me patiently,
He was my comfort, my friend,
    he was my security.

Once I showered him with Love
    he was always there for me.
I'd hold him and hug him tight
    in my arms eternally.

My teddy bear was my prince,
    defender against all fears
Great or small, and together
    we discovered new frontiers.

I felt he was a great knight
    against the thundering boom,
And storms ne'er scared me, but now
    alone he sits in my room.

So I picked him up today.
    I embraced him all night long,
And it made me feel so warm
    to know his Love was still strong.
