Be my Valentine, my love,As I will be for you,And we will love the whole day long,And love our whole lives through. For love has no parametersAnd does not end with time,But is the gift of paradise,A pinch of the sublime. So let us take this holidayTo resubmit our loveTo those within that know no sinAnd with the angels move.

My Valentine,

Be my Valentine: What does that mean?Each of us must walk through life alone,More deeply desolate than we have known,Yearning for a truth we've never seen.Valentines are from beyond that dream,Are like a sunrise on a world of stone.Little on this journey can we ownExcept as miracles might intervene.No way but through loving might we giveThe freedom of our being to another.In such a sacrifice we hope to liveNo longer bound by dreams of flesh and bone,Even as we bind our lives together.

Before I knew you, I had always loved you,Even as I dreamed of whom I'd love.My inner picture was a portrait of youYears before your heart my heart would move.Vistas of enchantment are but rarelyAs we find them in reality.Love with you is what I dreamed, but really,Eden as no dream could ever be.Nor is this the magic of the moment,The proper costume for the holiday.In words like these one finds the winnowed ferment,Not of the desire, but of the way,Else lost amid the longings of the day.

Blessings are the things we take for granted.Each holiday we notice what we see.Most know the Earth is utterly enchantedYet walk through life and love mechanically.Valuing one's gifts takes resolutionAfter days and nights of fantasy.Love brings the sweet relief of absolution,Enveloping our hesitance in need.No touch inspires so swift a revolution,Transforming all the hieroglyphs we read.In your love is the charity of spring,Nor self-obsessed nor blinded by some creed,Embracing the grey dawns that blessings bring

Happy Valentine, my love!All my love is yours.Praised be love that brings us home,Pilgrims to these shores.Yearnings here find harborage;Vanities, sly smiles.All that righteous anger rends,Love here reconciles.Even in the darkness whereNo bitterness finds rest,Thoughts of you are like a dawnIntent on happiness.Nor would I have so light a heartExcept that I am blessed!

How much can one person love another?A universe exists in time and space,Placed within the boundaries of one place,Pressed into a point far from forever.Yet love comes to us from some quite other,Visiting our sorrow with its grace,Answering our rage with its embrace,Lending us the wisdom of its wonder.Even as I say this, you are there,Nestling in where need undoes the day,Taking up your small infinity.Inside my window, you are everywhere,Nor could I tell how much such love might weigh,Even were it salient as the sea.

How often do we linger inThe vestibule of life,Not ready to embrace the soulWe've taken for a wife? Nor bear the dread oblivionOf being who we are?Nor render well our willing partWhen we are not the star? Ah, Valentine! This day of loveBehold what you have wrought!And seek within the love you haveThe love you long have sought. For love loves not illusion,Demanding what is true:That underneath your greed and lustYou need her love for you.

I wish you were my ValentineThough I may not be yours,And I may, in my ignorance,Be speaking to closed doors. I have no inkling of your heart,No hint what you might say;But when I think of you the sunWill just not go away.

There is in you a lovelinessThat makes my darkness shine,And so I'll wait, if wait I must,To be your Valentine.

Love comes through the eyes that seeAnd through the ears that hear,For people are quite beautiful,And words make feelings clear. Love comes through the hands that touchWith unabashed affection,For only skin-to-skin can loveMaintain its true direction.

One alone cannot make two,But two alone can tally three.If some find sums enough to do,Some find some their ecstasy. Yet do not add unless you love,For greater sums require more,And though in proof might pleasant prove,In life might prove a lifelong chore. Valentines ought best bewareOf multiplying much too soon.While two might err, far more must bearWhat didn't add up one afternoon

The day of love requires a companion,But I find myself at this time all alone.Words of sweet affection fill the morningLike bells outside the windows of my room. I don't know why I don't have someone with me.I've loved and been loved through the restless years.The mysteries of love I hold within meAre a darkness unrelieved by moon and stars.

And yet I feel more love than I have everFelt within the circle of a kiss.Love need not be a passion or a fever,Nor does it need a hand for its caress. Love does not require a companion.It doesn't need an object or a home.It flies above the ecstasy of morningAnd fills the universe inside my room.

This Valentine's I wish that you were with me.It's lonelier than most days I'm alone,Even though we'll manage on the phoneTo touch with words the face we cannot see.You away are far more dear to meThan anyone who might remain at home.My love is in the places that you roam,Being with you where I cannot be.We do not choose the objects of our passion,But passively await the holy fireThat immolates our past and lights our fate,Twisting through the alleys of desire.So I am yours, and will contented wait,Allowing love my life and will to fashion.

Valentine's a day to say, "I love you,"A ritual that stages Letting out the truth of what I feelEven as I think it often of you.Nor could I with such grace without this dayTell you that I'm grateful that I have you,Impress upon you just how much I need you,Needing such a frame for what I sayEven as I would my heart reveal.

Valentines are people whoAre willing to be flowers,Letting us enjoy their beautyEven if for hours.No Valentine hides from the sun,Though sometimes lost in light.If you love them, they just open,Not unhappy to be wokenEven in the night.
