The Valentine
Amongst my valley of sacred dreams, a single
Reddened rose grows, tender leaves of emotion’s
Blowing within my garden of inner hearts chamber.
Textures delicate layers, blossoming in the shadow
Of loves burning passion, nurtured in desire’s private
Council, my valentine bestows devotions previous
Gift unto me, compassion, beauty and mercy of the
Raw fleshes inner core exposed,
Unraveling my blackened tresses, shaking them free
With reckless abandonment, does not mine own
Tender petals of innocence fall above him, in
A showing rainbow of colors array, these gentle
Blossoms for-get-me-knots.
In vows chapel of hopes promise, two souls spoke
Without words, but in the eyes of our future, volumes
Exchanges with every touches softest caress, and
Moistened kiss.
Wrapped in satin sheets of pleasures undenied, we
Form the union of our own valentine, smiling within
The heights of exhilarations at each other.
Floating dreamers, set adrift mingling in the
Celebration of living, tasting the infinite, clinging
To the hearts beating, in the silence of the night.
Bring me no flowers, nor tokens of melted chocolates
Confections, nay I’ve been given the best of thee,
Tonight dearest Valentine, to share myself with thee.
Spin your silver tongues verse in the air, forging crystal
Castles of fortunes folly, I dare not care for these ideal
Creations, for I am yours, heart and soul, my Valentine,
Forever throughout eternity.
Can you not hear the broken wings of the angels heaing,
Flapping, they thus weep no more, for loves hope
Of promise has been restored within our union.
We’ve found the end of heaven’s rainbow,
Within each other’s embrace, let the white doves
Soar, releasing their soft appendages upwards,
To brush against the face of the most majestic
Spirit on high, and he two smiles at us, winking
With spiritual joy.
So let age’s timeless clock tick away, I’m
Thus content to lay beside thee, in wrinkles,
Or elderly pains of agony, I’ll not leave, for we
Are the lucky sprits of loves devotion, Valentines
Of the spiritual, that is found in true loves
Union, beneath endless sky of the infinite.
