For My Valentine
darlin'
I don't need to emerge from
darkened theater with
owl eyes wide and luminous
to know
without you
my world would be
flat
and
one-dimensional
you bring out
the sun
the stars
and
under covers
in deep dark
your smile is
the moon, full and kind-hearted
Open any book
any chapter of my life
and you will find
our history is the bookmark
and
your love is the starting place
Notes:
R, I'm so glad you picked me to be your valentine - thank you
