“my bloody valentine”

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
an absence of Presence conjures Absence…

The first Valentine was a tragic affair.

        A fine historical write A. It has a classical feel to it - ye olden days, yet a new poem.
        I say this (title) to KP, but not in the same sense. Ooh lol!

          A historical write with a tragic ending arqios. And since then there have been a multitude of perfect love matches resulting in happiness and probably a similar number of tragedies. Hoping your day is special.

                Very timely and historical, mythical, metaphorical and poetic. A most lovely write that captured my heart and deserves a fave

                      The Seven Members of the ‘North Side’ gang had a bad Valentine’s Day In 1929 as well.
                      This is a fine Poem about the Origins of the Tradition. Well Said.

                      • arqios

                        Thanks kindly, Kevin. May gut have a mossy back to 1929 and envision that day 🙏🏻🕊️
