The Doves Sonnet... for my Valentine

The trust I give these days is without fear
And winters bite has lost its chill to me
That crystal on my cheek is not a tear
Although the glint may speak of hidden glee

I heard the pain you spoke for all those years
And wondered at the inner strength you had
I hope that your new path be filled with cheer
And forks or bends don’t ever make you sad

On balcony we stood above the crowd
And talked about this feeling in our hearts
The shock that we could say these thoughts out loud
As if these years were moments just apart

In you I feel the freeing of the doves
As I was wind and welcomed you with love.
