This day for lovers
all the parts are perfectly scripted
the players stand at the ready,
tonight will be a performance.
A soft almost delicate bracelet
glistening with newness
it’s hard to imagine
love could dull or vanish.
Yet today,
one anticipates
if the words will ever come?
Pulling the petals from flowers
am I loved or not?
Everywhere are bouquets of flowers.
The markets are super busy
a frantic search consumes the shoppers
on this ordinary day.
It’s hard to imagine
not having,
that flooded rush
the excitement of giving and receiving.
The love we seek
is truly out there
we get what we give
make today
the start of your own
Valentines Day.
