Oh, in this sweet spring of life loved
and random acts of kindness
it was the corners by the three rivers
and shifting sands
that every piece of my heart
frantically romantic in the rain.

The rose of Valentine Love
in the fractured garden
forsaken
one dark and stormy night
waiting for tomorrow’s smile
but subject to change
as Valentine’s Day approaches.

Out to dry and high and dry
at the pond of love
orbs of light open doors
for time sense, soft words
and in truth, serenity,
while illusions bath
in the waves
of an endless dream.

I am your lady, or wish I could be,
and not walking with a seer, my arm in his,
on frosty nights losing all.

My Valentine, don’t let me go.
Hear the call and sit the fire of distant love
on blade of grass under the tree of Eden
and listen to my Valentine’s song
about love and to love
learning finally to be forever in love.

A million stones to dawn’s joy
then to leave without saying hello
on this new eye day on the day of lovers
like a Tennessee volunteer
and I’m overwhelmed.

Will you please be my Valentine
forever and a day
but not a mayored Valentine 2005
lost in the jungle before the storm
clicking needles one
in a carpe diem sunbonnet?

The air that I breathe
re-twisting my dream of Fernando
in this wheel of life and prison sanctuary
into some dead sea soup,
my Valentine,
because with you my spirit soars
like the morning dove.

My Valentine’s Day cry
the food for dreams in September
if a dark and hot night
doesn’t pop the balloons
like acts of piracy.

A year ago, today
baby bloomers
over Wreckers and the Eddy stone
so I wrote you for Valentines,
lovingly yours, again,
while venturing outside of routine.
This beyond everything
made thy heart beat softly
but your silence had an impact.

For Yasmine in waiting, for my husband,
and Luka, woman of my heart,
I spin the dream
and that’s how I know
I love you so, my perpetual Valentine.

Bringing home the bloom in Valentine hues
like a sunrise smile for Enchantress
in this rainstorm trying hard to be a blizzard
and oh, from the depth of sigh these hearts
such a label maker!
Mr. President! Have you ever ...?

Mr. President! Have you ever ...?

somehow, i doubt that he has
seen such a talent for this tapestry of pipsters within the frame of your making

inkedgoddess - Who can really say these days - the President has eyes everywhere - or so they say!

It's always a pleasure to see the way you weave a conglomeration of titles into a smoothly flowing poem. *S*
