VALENTINE'S MESSAGE.

Fay Slimm.

 

VALENTINE'S MESSAGE.

When I, sleep-less through uneasy dark 
sigh lonely for thee,
when moon rides high in its sickled arc
and cold falls crisp on flower and tree,
when sun bids farewell to skyline's blue
and mist covers first starlight with dew
how I long but for thee.

When I, dreaming walk lone tidal waves
again sigh for thee,
when wind rides high the sea's briny lace
and a storm turns pale its filters on me,
when Neptune saddles wild-white horses
and foaming indifference rises and falls          
how I ask but for thee.

When I, awaking un-fresh before dawn
sigh weary for thee,
when Valentine's message clearly calls         
and desire sends kisses over bland sea,
when distance between us taxes hearts
with commitments keeping lovers apart
how I yearn but for thee.

                  • BRIAN & ANGELA

                    "Lost ~ long distance ~ VALENTINE !" Better to have loved ................... ! Whenever I sent a Valentine to the then current GIRL of My Dreams ~ I always included a Personal Poem ~ which they loved and cherished. I am pleased we share an Elizabethan (1st !) trait ~ an EMAIL is not a VALENTINE. A Lady once sent an intimate Love email to me ~ but she pressed the wrong button (easily done !) and mailed it to the 357 people in her MESSAGE OUT BOX some of whom were our CHURCH ELDERS ! Thanks for reprising ~ Yours for ever BRIAN.

                    • Fay Slimm.

                      Yes oh yes Brian that it is "better to have loved etc" - - your valentines must be so special for the lady to receive a personal poem too - - - I agree too that an email is not a real valentine message........... and what a smile your comment gave me re. pressing wrong buttons - - wheeee - 375 all reading of love - -- thanks for this fresh and amusing comment.

                              I admit the poem 'was a heartache to write as it meant something special - - thank you so much Laura for reading between lines to catch its meaning.
