Your Face Your eyes are the jewels my desires enshrine The luster of diamond, enticement of mind The rapturing joy and the calm of a dove The depth of the wells of contentment and love Your lips are the softness and yearning of lust The essence of kisses encircling us Their touch wraps an aura of love around two And leaves on my lips the sensation of you Your smile is my haven of tranquil delight It blankets my heart in the coolness of night It’s a smile that your eyes in their splendor define Your face is the face of my sweet valentine Elizabeth Santos |

Dark angel, Thank you for the "sigh". That says a lot Charisma, Thank you so much for your comment Sunshine, A Valentine and no one to give it to. When I was young I couldn't think of a single thing to write in a card. Oh, well Thanks, dear Denise, I'm alive and kicking, thanks for your concern. Just unable to visit the forum as often right now. Thanks, and look for a surprise in your e-mail Martie, I'm looking through poetic eyes only. THanks for the wonderful message last night Krista, Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I appreciate your comments Paula, Sweet comments from a sweet poet Thanks, Paula Jwesley, THank you so much. Ellie, THanks,dear, and look for an e-mail Poet devine, I certainly never got a valentine like this and never will. But you're welcome to send it if you want. Thank you. Liz |

Liz ...this was such a joy to read aloud ... your wonderful cadence is equaled only by your gift of imagery. this is a diamond in the sky ..flying on wings of rhyme divine My above poets are right ... Hallmark NEEDS you!  If my slight Muse do please these curious days ... The pain be mine ... but thine shall be the praise. ~Shakespeare~ |

Liz, I love your work so much... fine as silk and smooth as satin... I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you on your last "E" it kind of left me awe-struck... I thought that kind of stuff only happened in my family. My siblings are already making me offers on my 25%... Calling it an investment... Dad isn't even dead and it appears they have already buried him. It's surprising how the world turns on a tilt. Sending Prayers, dale |

Sy, Yes this is for eveyone, and a special part for you. Thanks JM. Oh, I,m way too emotional for hallmark, and wordy. But if you like it, I'm smiling Coco, THank you for you sweet remarks. I appreciate your reading Dale, I've already left the feelings behind and am looking forward to better things. Kamla will be here soon and I'm surrounded by lots of love, There are things that noone can take away. THanks for reading Liz |

Kethry, THanks so much, one word says a lot, Suthrn, When I started writing this, I didn't intend it to be a xalentine. Thanks for commenting Bill, You write much more beautiful romantic poetry than this by far, but I am pleased you liked it Thanks Liz |
