Valentines

Taking time out on a couple of dates for one
May seem lonely or anti social for some
But having space to yourself - mostly all alone
Shows a few changes that you have outgrown
Valentines Day - being a special one for lovers
A time of anticipation and kindness for others
Loving yourself by being your own best friend
A journey in itself which doesn't need to end
A card, message or present yo...

Valentines Day

Dressing up, styling hair, feeling fine
Card and presents, wait to be opened, all in a line
Roses, chocolates and bottles of red wine
Celebrating Valentines Day, its just a matter of time
Happiness shown, whether it be rain or shine
Cupid wasn't so stupid, sending his arrow as a sign
The restaurant booked, we drink and then we dine
Thinking that when we met, he must of made you mine

Oh, the burden

40 days and 40 nights,
If we were to predate the Gregorian calendar

Illustrious Demiurge

Once in a blue moon and many light years ago,
Otherworldly starseeds began to incarnate,
and add to the menageries of the Milky Way's sacral space

in-between you and I: What a β€œsui generis”-jagged siamese
piece of a memory
with our other half
β€”filling us inβ€”
on where we’ve been our whole life

So as to make known, any preconceived notion; shown in its true light, and meant to be…the des...

I Love Your Allure

I would never question your narrativeβ€” as it be, figuratively.

Cheers to another year: it’s ever clear β€” our glasses never get drunk.

(for all intents and purposes) spirited twin flames pour out libations to a personal god
No half truths with you.
I idolize your third eyes outlook on life...
Our inner visions - seen to fruition - showcase infinite possibilities
Granted we share the same ...

I’d like to think if a kid were to get up and say I can’t stand this, then the teacher would get behind them in an orderly fashion.
side by side, classroom C-3 parts in the middle of the day, to make their way back to their seat,

Chalk Initials

Love is in the air forecasters say
at first blush, be that as it may
chalk initials in handpicked tins invoke remembrance by paving ways
palms supine scribed with written in lines tie sanskrit signs
significance is found in the now
springs and gears ticking time
as faeries grant blessings shifting through a lovers parade

Concurrent reminiscence written on akashic pages taking turn

Valentine's Wish

Don’t get me wrong

I often long for chocolate;

but

hand-crafted,

heart-shaped,

tied with a bow,

seems more about show

than any love that I know.

 

I value your time

more than a sweetly, slick rhyme.

Your words have more worth

than a purchased verse;

tenderness

whispered, in private

has more meaning.

 

Choose genuine over saccharine.

Be present,...

Valentine 1 - Poem by Marie

Who will remember me when I am dead 
I wont haunt any ones head 
Who will cry a tear for my memory WHO 
I know it would not be you

Valentines

My aching heart

My heart It aches

Engulfed by emptiness

Hurting

Drowning me with loneliness

Moments apart feel like a lifetime

No idea how to cope

Don't want to cope

Just want to be with you

 

Yet I know I'm loved

I feel your love

It surrounds me

Protects me

My happiest times are when we're together

Side by side In bed

Chatting

Laughing

Loving

The Gate

By : Ali Taha Alnobani

 

Yesterday she invited me to see the moon in her garden
The wind tried to prevent me
Although I was sad, I walked under the rain
The gate was full of small doors and small cats were looking at me
Their shining eyes told me the tale of my baby
One night she was looking at the moon,
But a big cat with shining eyes got her dreams broken.

I'm to leave now

 

By: Ali Taha Alnobani

I'm to leave now

A tall ghost is carrying my bag

A long street is walking behind me

A mad merchant bought my smiles

And no water to renew the dusk

I can't have my step begun

Even if the rain washed my tears

***

I'm to leave now

Can I have a deep look at your eyes?

Can I take my dreams, your smile

And my dried red rose?

VALENTINES

VALENTINES

 

What starts as romance

Ends up as routine

With variations

For years in between

Anonymous cards

Carefully picked verse

Until you just sign

For better or worse

And each time you try

To write your own lines

You find out how hard

Are good Valentines.

Don't Forget Valentine

 

 
For those who celebrate or not, the tale of how it all began, to whom this day's celebration found its humble beginnings. Read, but do not weep, he did all for love.

The Forgotten Valentine

`

 

 

 

Valens, you are esteemed worthy,
at the Via Flaminia you lay:
Valentinus offered up in faith.
Your deeds aren't known in our day.

In this life you wed young couples;
an act the Emperor would not permit.
And though your grace the monarch received,
your execution he did transmit.

Alas, with clubs and stones they came,
challenged by your fortitude gr...
