In the silence of the leaves
Glamour of the shining moon
Melodies of the song birds that wake up the sun
The sweet flow of waves running down the ocean
My heart rings like a telephone
Waiting for a hello that's been unheard of in the recent of days
I'm hinged on strings of hope
That darkness could raid the earth but won't shadow our love
For even amongst the stars, it shines and sparkles like diamonds
I'm grateful to every letter of your name that writes a beautiful story of my life
Grateful that though I have little on me but with you the world is mine
Thankful for the glorious days you blessed with your smile
Hoping love for me still echoes in the middle of your chest
I haven't been the best for you but you have been my best
Haven't been all you deserve but somehow  you don't push me away
Let's make love in this nest we wove since the day love called us together and thrive like a king and queen of a palace yet to be built
Happy valentine's day❤
The greatest human love you can receive today is self love.
To absolutely accept yourself for who and what you are
To rise above everyone's perception of you and just be.
To stand tall and be yourself in the face of society's expectation of who you should be
To show up for yourself when you need you the most
To be stronger for yourself like you've been for everyone else.
To say i am, get out and actually be.
To love yourself unconditionally because girl you deserve it!
Have you received this kind of love today?
Jayantee Khare Feb 2020

a history, untold
a mystery to unfold
an eternal search
a perpetual urge
too ethereal to achieve
too surreal to believe
a desire, remaining unfulfilled
an epic, still being quilled
a moment stilled
in the veins, it instilled
O my beloved!
you're a dream too grand to be realised
a scheme, too ambitious to be materialised....


Love letter...happy valentine's day
James Feb 2020
Some people say that poetry has died.
No point to put on paper poesy bold,
No longer needing sonnets - rhymes of old
Which one inside can softer feelings hide.
To Netflix, Insta, Amazon they run
And dull their brains with shows of Island’s Love.
No thoughts of flowers, nightingales or doves;
Minds choked with wealth and *** and hate, and guns.
But never they’ve seen your smile in morning’s light
And wished to catch it – tangled, held in rhyme.
They’ve never placed their head upon your lap
And felt the need to jar the safe delight
Of looking into eyes so warm, sublime,
And thought of methods, forms: eternal traps.
A Valentine's Day Petrarchan sonnet with a Crybin rhyme scheme.

No, I don't.
Oh one who
takes pride in
denouncing love,

Look at yourself.

Unable to accept who
you are without another.
Creating a false sense of loneliness
by ignoring the relationships you have
in favor of the one you do not.

You believe that you are
rebellious in your isolation
but when it comes down to it
what is more radical:
Cynicism and bitterness
or Love.

To you valentine antagonist:
I Love You.
If one more person says "singles awareness day" to me I will snap. I'm asexual/aromantic, so if anyone should be complaining it's me. **** it up.

People celebrate today
A day of love, a day of joy
People profess and confess
A special time once every long year

I see people kiss
They snuggle and cuddle
They say ‘it’s a special day’
And say ‘i love you’

It makes me wonder
What about the other days
Do these souls wonder about each other
Do these souls dream of one another

The universe makes me feel so lucky
And today isn’t really that special to me
Because whenever I’m with you
Every day is a Valentine’s Day
Jami Samson Feb 2020
Silken skies
Candlelit sunset
Clouds of fresh linen
My lips all over you
Like rose petals
Scattered around my room.

Moonlit smiles
Red wine kisses
Slow dancing
To the rhythm under the sheets
Your body wrapped
Like lace on my skin.

Hot summer breath
Sweat like coconut and lime
Your voice soft against my ear
Time flowed like sand
You and I forever lost
In waves of lulling bliss

Colors flashed
Bubbles burst
Feet landed on the ground
But in your gaze my heart still floats
Though all this is only in my mind
This love is solid as your hand.

I am all the dreams
you had at night,
but forgotten
in the morning
Happy Valentine everyone.
