It’s Valentine’s Day
All around me
I feel the anticipation
Growing
Young faces glowing
Such sweet surprise
Glimmering in eyes
Watching showers
Of flowers
Arrive
Handed out
Accompanied by
Love notes
Badly scripted
With devotion
Depicted
in awkward
Words dictated
Yet unheard
Safely presented
in small envelopes
to be opened by
That lucky lady
Finally finding
her own
Prince Charming ...

But what is a Valentine?
Is it a rose or a card
That says “Be Mine”?
Impatiently
Thoughtlessly
Picked up at the
Last possible moment
From the local drug store
Or airport souvenir shop?

Is a box of candy
Delivered to your door
Eaten
Given away
or gone to waste
In a matter of days
Soon to be forgotten?

Perhaps a Valentine
Is really given every day
In little ways
Those special moments
Of sharing between
Two people caring
Enough to
Take the time
Out of an often
Hectic day
To say
“I Love You”

Could Valentines’ be
All those little things
That remind you
Of why you were
Brought together
In the first place?
A look on a face
That says
“I’m so glad we
found each other?”

I don’t know
It’s so hard to say
Valentine’s Day
Could be all that
And more
Perhaps one day
It will find my door
Bringing sweet surprise
To my own empty eyes …

i'm again compelled to say WOOOT! i really ejoyed it.

So funny story. I sent someone flowers and a card for valentines day and it ended up being shipped 3 hours away!! but she'll get them still luckily. just not sure when. sad2


Two hearts beat as one
Side by side
Now and forever
How can there be a day
A single day
To celebrate the magic of love
Would it not take an eternity
For one to express
Just how much we love
That special someone
Our giding light
Our northern star
That means the world to us
And so much more
How can a gift say all that
Chocolates
Never
They last for a day
Like a one night stand
Flowers
Never
They last for months
If you're lucky
Like a fling
A teddy bear
Never
You may lose it
Like the one you let go
That you should've held on to
So I wonder
Why a day has been said
To be the day of lovers
