Valentine's Call

Fay Slimm.

Valentine's Call

When I, sleep-less through uneasy dark, 
 when moon hides need in its sickled arc
                                                      and heart feels cold on a Valentine's eve,                                                           
when life's indifference busily dims hope
                                       and time dulls dreams of replacing solo                                             
I long but for thee.

When I, awaking un-fresh before dawn,
             when Valentine's morning ardently calls         
and desire sends kisses over bland sea,
when distance between taxes two hearts
and consistent duty keeps lovers apart
I yearn but for thee.

            Such a poignant yearning on Valentine's.
