Through all the darkened nights I spent wandering the earth I found but only one oasis from the silence It was shining brighter than even the eastern star And it's hue more splendid than that of water that Quenches the most desperate thirst You, a solitary flower, there waiting in the night |

What a sweetly romantic Valentine! And what a lucky someone you have written it to! To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Very nice, Jeffrey. I found myself thinking of a single red rose upon seeing your title. What a lovely thing to compare a person to, a lovely, solitary flower. |

Jeffrey, God love ya, this is great, I loved it because it was original, so many poems about roses (I love roses but...) this is great! "I walked beside the evening sea and dreamed a dream that could not be." George William Curtis |

Thanks guys !!! This was written for someone I met last summer in hopes that I would be able to give it to them today, alas, we have moved on to different things so I thought I would post it here where I knew she would see it. KC this is for you, Happy Valentine's Day! |
