February Fever

In the battle of the poets
Closeted within their dens,
Words their only ammunition
Shooting from their ink filled pens,
Seeking phrase uniquely pretty
And an unused metaphor,
They have not the time to help me
Woo the one whom I adore.

Without muse or bard asistance
Am I equal to the game?
In trite words of deep devotion
Will the message be the same?
I can't say it grandiosely
As I beg you to be mine.
The old hackneyed words must do then.
"Will you be my Valentine?"

Joyce~
I absolutely ADORE this ... what a wonderful lead-off to the upcoming Sweetheart of a day~

I'll need to re-vive some of my purty little poetic Valentines~

I actually collect old Victorian Valentines ... and they are soooo romantic and beautiful~

In the midst of winter,

An invincible summer.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Joyce, and also often wonder how to express one of the oldest feelings in the universe in a way that has not been done before. Thanks for sharing!

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.

It's not about beauty within words that wins hearts its the beauty within the person that brings a smile of knowing that you know them
