V elvety romantic nights,
A dmiring the glowing moon
L ambent in the darkened sky.
E ntranced by this lovely sight,

T wo hearts which God has drawn nigh,
I n this most enchanted time
N eeding only your gentle sigh -
E ach breath of my Valentine.
ESSENCE OF VALENTINES
Hearts and romance and flowering vines
Cupids and candy saying "Be mine"
Romantic gestures, sentiments sublime -
All part of the essence of Valentines.
Some men consider the day a waste,
Lacking in merit and void of taste,
But what's wrong with taking a lady to dine
And wishing a woman happy Valentines?
Our world is chaotic, and full of stress,
A romantic day shouldn't come with duress,
But happy is the man who finds the time
To show some attention to his Valentine.
You do not need jewelry, or flowers, or sweets
To give a lady the romance she needs -
Some thoughtful and tender attention is fine,
And should make the day a happy Valentines.
The essence of Valentines comes from the heart,
But a day for romance is a good place to start,
So make some sweet gestures; it's your turn to shine,
Treat your wife or girlfriend like she's your Valentine!

To the bone.
My blood has flowed.
Your words still beguile:
To see the mind,
To touch the soul,
To fear the pain
Of your words.
