funny valentine
is what I dreamed you would be
instead you became
my lost valentine that slipped
out my hands, forever gone

rose murmurs
walking
in the rose garden
I
could hear roses murmur
to
one another
how
I wish my life could
be
so serene
to
just bloom under sunlight
enjoy
it’s beauty until
my
season is done
life
of a rose seems
more
simpler than mine

supernova
I
wanted a love full of passion
that
would burst through
milky
way skies
a
love to last a thousand years
like
heavenly stars
love
is like the stars
it
has it’s alpha and omega
eventually
love will burst
like
a supernova before
fading
to dust

kiss on the porch
a
kiss on the porch
was
the moment
I
fell in love with
the
stars and with you
but
I was young
and
naïve to all
the
nuances of love
so
your departure left
a
deep wound in my
heart
until I was able
to
make it whole again

in love
in
love
my
fingers tingled
with
thoughts of you
my
heart jumped into
my
throat when I thought
how
my life would be
if
you were in it
but
this
is
just a dream
you
are a far flung star
that
I will never reach
and
can only longingly
stare
at every night
before I fall asleep

when we were young poets
when
we were young and carefree
we
wrote poems in the sky
watching
them float away
like
clouds on a summer day
as
we grew older we drifted apart
like
boats lost at sea after a storm
but
I am still here poeming away

he
spoke loving words
in
Portuguese that made me
weak
in the knees
I
gladly ran off with him
across
golden Sahara skies
and
blue Mediterranean seas
I
was blind to the lies
he
hid behind the moon
while promising me the stars
oleander
now grows in
the
place where my heart
once
planted its roots
