Crimson roses fail to bloom it's cold in February and chocolate can be bitter when love is denied like an unopened valentine... [This message has been edited by catalinamoon (edited 01-20-2001).] |

Great write, Sandra! So much said in so few lines. I like this! (not too fond of the February holiday m'self) sp  I won't go; I won't sleep; I can't breathe until you're resting here with me... |

So many emotions expressed in few words - wow! Sadly, I will be forced to relate to this on Valentine's Day. I really do love this, especially the lines "chocolate can be bitter, when love is denied, like an unopened valentine..." Take care, Melissa The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |

Hi Sandra, Powerful read here not to lengthy either  you know I don't think I have ever had someone do any thing really special on Valentine's Days for me, that holiday just seems to slip by without much fan fare, but this little gem is a keeper and I thank you.Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist.

 (big hugggsssssss) This is no doubt a powerful analogy to bittersweet, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you and I hope next Valentines Day the chocolate will taste sweeter than you can imagine and you will be showered with roses and love cards! (kiss on cheek) This I wish for you so much, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sandra, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
