My Valentine For You …Byron My Lord

spring this year showed me green
as I curled around your words
and fell heart first into blossoms
boldly intoxicating all senses known
bathing in color’s lip kissed petals
the dancing romance before the fruit
and in that yield I found wonderment
a white clothed feast that dripped in ripe
that fed many but saved me alone from starving
your umbrella leaves gave sheltered shade
in being apart from dry scorching loneliness
and a canopy that caught my tears of miss
there is much comfort in your poetic branches
the masses know you as their gossamer apple
but I alone truly know the sap of your love
summer fell and the season changed with pages
drifting from text as words twirled end on end
to dance in breeze of books and personal letters
where layers of white pile littering my floor
as well as cover the ground in which had I read you
February finds me longing for the reach of bark
not nestled in the forest of this paper mached affair
pack quickly to catch the next boat back to me
for I need of not your words to read but to be read to

forever more…Lizzy

p.s. your words stir my heart but you stir my soul
