Listening to every heart

Valentine’s Love

in calm
I sense the essence
of the spirit

that would watch over me

I am undone
in the serenity
and the peace which equates

in this, this soft and pure,
sweet and sure
essence

undone

for as if on angels wings,
I am lifted into a song of pure
sweet love

and I question not that I should
be here, enfolded within,

nor do I question the why of it
but revel therein,

in laissez-faire
I shed all wear on
what is left of my life’s force

by serene course
this heart’s beat now beats

by the coercion
of what is most right
in this, pure, sweet light….

of my Valentine’s love

I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Sunshine, this is soo beautiful.  This is gonna be the first Valentine's Day for me to "share" with someone special in such a long time, I'm really looking forward to it.  Sounds like you are too.  Well done...

Perfectly expressed - I wish I'd penned it myself ~S~

You have a beautifully gentle flow to your writing that I really enjoy reading.   It doesn't shout.  It's more quiet and reflective.  Honest and deep.   This is beautiful.

To capture and live a moment is truly living

did you speak french??? COOL  
very cool write here Sun...
lovely and romantic ...
love the whole essence of this one
nothing cliche' here me dear

Heaven bound on wings of love,
there's so much that you can rise above.
I surrender heart and soul,
sacrificed to a higher goal.
