Careful, this is tritefully sappy!

quote:
Dreams and shadows tied
with satin ribbon around heart sighs
a miracle we are, now more than aware
of all we have and will share

I cannot give you fancy chocolates
In velvet boxes gilded with gold
I have not to give you more than this:
An everlasting love; a hand to hold.

Tears of joy I give with tender thought,
Drops of delight in pure adoration.
All I can offer-simply all of me,
Wrapped in the promise of true affection.

I can’t give you what you can’t desire
meekly offering closeness wrapped in warmth
You gave the greatest gift I could inspire,
in cozy togetherness upon heated hearth.

Always Valentine, shall I cherish you
My lifelong dream finally come true.

Thank you Seymour! I know it is sappy, but what the heck...love is special enough to be sappy at least one day a year right?

If you can't be sappy at Valentine's Day ..... When can you?!

Touching poem.

it wastes your time AND annoys the pig

Gee newell,

thank you for that sweet reply! But you can't find this gift in any store, it has to be found in the heart--one that is filled with thoughts of you.

I sincerely hope you find it this Valentine's Day.((Newell))

Dulcy, this is a radio station tuned to two frequencies, and two only.
Not a bit sappy, sweetie, but tremendously full of sentiment, hope,
and *smile* some great poetic lions.

The greatest gift you could offer: that of yourself, you
would give willingly to your only love, and that melts my heart.

You are my lighthouse of all that makes me happy,
Jeff

Dulcie...I think your poetry is beautiful, even if it is sappy. Valentine's Day is the perfect time for sappiness.
I very much enjoyed.
