A Solitary Valentine
February fourteenth,
Valentine's Day,
Cupid's day too;
Forever destined to be
A day filled with love
And wonderful surprises
For true lovers and others.
A solitary valentine,
Perhaps many valentines,
Beautiful, romantic valentines,
Saying "I love you."
Cute and funny ones,
Puppy dogs and kittens,
Red roses and other fragrant flowers,
Candies and chocolates,
Perfume and jewelry,
Disguised like hearts intertwined
In mysterious packages,
Suddenly appearing
In trembling hands
Of wooing lovers.
Messages of love
Left on smart phones,
Laptops and desktops,
Carefully placed in mailboxes
Or left on doorsteps,
Much to the amazement
Of the unsuspecting few.
Somehow the romantics
Manage to worm their way
Out of the woodwork.
Realizing the intense passion of their love,
They have the courage of heart
To be who they really are;
Romantics everywhere,
Taking bold steps
Toward someone special,
At least for one day.
The sweet scent of courtly love,
Flowering with intense warmth and passion,
Bursting forth into tender blossoms.
Cupid's arrow,
Touching and piercing
Even the hardest of hearts.
Gentle souls dancing together,
Like flowers in a breeze,
Waltzing to a majestic symphony.
Sheer wonderment and magic
Fill the air,
Ever expanding the invisible boundaries
On the vast horizon of love.
A solitary valentine,
Perhaps only a few,
Sent or delivered thousands,
Hundreds of thousands,
Even millions around the world;
A simple manifestation,
And a wonderful representation
Of the magnificent,
Ever timeless
Power of love.
