V-Day Belated

Anatomically sound, befitting a king

 

swaying alertly in the waves, I sing.

 

Hearts, at sea, floundering and pounding

 

against the cavity of my chest, astounding.

 

 

V-Day arriving, and leaving without me

 

swimming with shellfish and sharks at sea.

 

Satisfying love’s unique quality,

 

and breathlessly waiting for me to be we.

 

 

Tortuously lying in the keel’s utter mist

 

waves exploding above, below and amidst.

 

contemplating all that I ever wished,

 

remembering when, at first we last kissed.

 

 

V-Day, a special enchanting display,

 

lovingly speeding, though slightly astray.

 

Wishing you love in a happiness way,

 

throughout a belated Valentine’s Day.
