~

lover’s hearts connected together
with thousands of “pinky-swears,”
lover’s lips locked tight in 
hundreds of french-braided kisses and
a two-tongues-tied, single promise of
a life time of sacrifice to one another...
to my betrothed, my chosen love,
my never ending discovery of
this, your ever-unwrapping gift;
what was once a child’s sweet heart,
has become a storm-tested harbor, 
a resting place for my weary soul.
my eyes still dazzled at the sight
of your undulating hills covered 
only in a million forget-me-knots.
my heart still sings in unison
to the thrumming, rhythm of our song, 
together with the beating of
the heart that gave me yours.

*for this, our 37th Valentine's
sweetheart Day, together... 
i love you, my darling,
my sweet Becky!
