Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day

I love this face

This face, this face

The space it takes

When pressed so close

To mine

The crinkled corners

Of kind blue eyes

The deepened grooves 

That earn another year today

I love the way it takes me in

The tam o’ shanter

Silly grin

That makes me laugh

(At stupid things)

The words that form

Inside its rooms

They swirl and dance

Into songs and poems

My Valentine’s Boy

He makes me sing

He makes me better

He makes me think

There was supposed to be

An earth shattering KABOOM

And oh, by God, there was

A spark, a flame, a plume

That face, that face

it caught me fast

I’m smitten now

No looking back.

Happy birthday, sweet I! ❤️❤️❤️
