To my Valentine

Day and night I thought of you

To send a message I could write

Words were jiggling in front of me

I failed to choose the ones that were right

Red roses were calling my name

Hearts of chocolates in a box and ready to eat

The scent of earth sought a place in my body

Valentine’s Day emotions turning up the heat

I opened the windows to see your flares

The wings of butterflies flapped around

Sun kissed grasses bowed in the dew

I felt your breath near me on the moist ground

I picked the verse to suit my needs

Blushing in the frame I hid in you

The wind carried the words in the air

Echoing 'I love you ' and it’s still so true

A day full of stress

To whisper in your ears

A day to depress

To bleat in your face

I came as a mess

Looking for you

 

Before my spiel

You gave me a peck

And made me feel

The power of your tune

I forgot my heel

And melted in your smile

 

Holding me tight

You moved to the side

Showed me the light

The charm that you brought

A valentine bright

Passed a shiver to my body

 

The red roses bloom

In the spark of your gaze

I rested and forgot the gloom

While drawing on your chest

The clock in the room

Stopped for us to doze

A day to cry

A day to complain

A day to challenge

A day to conquer

A day to carry

A day to consent

A day to cease

A day to convert

A day to clean

A day to count

A day to cite

A day for you

A day for me

A day so close

But I choose your day

Because you are my valentine

Today

In the mirror

Enjoying my beautiful face

You tried to let me down

Showing the frowns that I grace

 

I looked at your eyes

Said silently

You gave me a hint

Showed my greying hair

Reminding me to tint

 

When I chose a shade of gold

You whinged

Did I tell you

The gilt represents your memories

When you walked out in the blue

 

Mirrors may change

But the images do not

When you saw me in you

You were playing with reflections

And you forgot to see what is true

The Cleansing

If you want love come to me

Hope you do not mind

When I analyse you

Hope you will not sob

When I cleanse you

Sorry I have to use

The scrubbing brush

It will give you pain

But all the dirt you carried

I will peel it away

Do not be puzzled or in misery

As you embrace the moisture

I will lead you to the fireplace

When you have found cosiness

I will burn the lumber

When I let you go

Please do not turn back

The ocean is there for your comfort

Heal yourself in love, but promise

You will do the same to those you come across

The midnight blues will reach me soon

Heights to climb where your memories are laid

Floods of thoughts stream along in the alley

With a grin, I am glorified in the glade

 

The chats were brief but were enough

Nothing was told, we had to choose

All of a sudden you cut me off

I have to accept a warrior’s dues

 

But your absence tears me apart

Your note was so warm and sweet

In the mountains I buried your hopes

I saw the poppies; buds there to greet

 

Oh my soldier, here I am again

Holding the poppies to your thoughts

I do not know whom you are at war with

But I will wait until you have fought

 

Sun glances, reaching out to kiss you

I keep you in my thoughts to start   

The flares will bring me your stories to tell

I hold the buds near to my heart

 

 I walked downhill to hear your tales

O my dear, Happy Valentine’s Day

A tear appeared on the corner of my eye

How long I know your thoughts will play

 

A sharp blade appeared in the alley

For what he asked I shook my head

Scattered poppies all up in the air

I held the poppies in the blood that shed 

 

Dazzling bushes ushered the sun rise

I felt thirsty in the grey

My love, my Valentine, be happy wherever you are

The morning dews whispered Happy Valentine’s Day
