A Valentine

I've breathed the essence of the man you are
The sweetest and most loving scent by far
A fragrance so enriching and sublime
My every breath is in this Valentine

My tongue in thirst has tasted of its goal
And sipped from out the wellspring of your soul
Savoring a purity so fine
Now from my well I send this Valentine

My lips have garnered kisses for your claim
That every moment whisper out your name
Bewitched am I by wonder of its chime
I send a kiss within this Valentine

My mind engraved a vision of your face
The inner eye has held it in embrace
A portrait of a countenance divine
My joy is mirrored in this Valentine

So here's a kiss, a whisper, an embrace
My breath, my soul, my vision of your face
This is the message of a Valentine
It means that I am yours and you are mine

So let me celebrate our love this way
I wish for you a Happy Valentines Day

Elizabeth Santos

Ellizabeth, how very beautiful this is.
straight from the heart.

 What comes from the heart goes to the heart.

All I can see is the love you feel
I'm sure he knows your love is real
Such beautiful piece you have created Liz
Very very sweet
A Happy Valentine comes your way from me


 The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

Elizabeth,
This valentine is a work of art.
And it has surely melted my heart.
So I will save the liquid to make a toast.
If ever we meet and I be the host.
Love Sy
