226: Love

Love moves, love shares
Love can take you unawares

Love sustains when tempests rage
Love cares not when bodies age

Love is the pinnacle of human achievement
Love gives life, hope and meaning

Love finds joy in the simplest act
Love lights the way when skies are black

Love heals, deep hurts from the past
love has patience and love holds fast

Love is expressed in many ways
Love has a smile that dazzles and eyes that blaze

Love caresses through finger tips and words
Love arouses with a passionate surge

Love is blissful when bodies release
Love knows quietness and inner peace

Love brings us closer when distance divides
Love electrifies the air when by your side

Love is the music that makes my heart sing
Love isn’t a word it’s a state of being

Love informs every thought and underpins every deed

Love is the glue every relationship needs.

112: Valentine's Day

It’s Valentine’s Day
The day you ought
To give your girl
A rose, shop bought
With fancy packaging

And hand delivered
To flutter her heart
And make her quiver.

Yet I dislike
Obligatory days
For showing affection
In stereotyped ways
It’s always nice
To receive flowers and gifts
If I wasn’t grateful

There’d be something amiss.

But if flowers arrive
On a random day
Or you say I love you
Out in the rain
It means more to me
Than anything else
Because you chose to do it
All by yourself.
