I took a pose
and beautifully fell
caught by stiff icy arms
elegant red rose
*
I tried to arise
from white blanket cold
no hot house warmth
flower, snow and stone
*
lift me as I groan
nothing can I feel
what once ran free
a bleeding heart alone
*
no tears remain for me
shriveled up and dead
wind blows away at will
valentine’s face this dread
this is hauntingly beautiful

It is a day that draws out the broken heart in us isn’t it? I remember the valentine’s Day just after my wife left me and my boss required everyone in the office to attend the church Valentine’s Day party. Most horrible!

Valentine’s Day is hard on people. expectations may only be met in retail 😉

tomorrow’s breeze arrives
crisp, filled with life
washing over all
she rises from the dead
