My Sweet Valentine - poem

 

     




My sweet Valentine,

When I look at thee,

A fine feeling I feel of 

Sweet reciprocity 


You and I seem to be 

Giving to each other,

Without keeping score 

Or any kind of absurd jealousy 



You fill my cup

And I fill yours,

We both can see our 

Perfections and flaws


Despite the flaws,

I choose to be 

Touched by a heart

That sees the beauty in me.


The flaws we can tackle,

When the beauty we behold

I hope this sticks 

Until we’re really really old 


You’re my friend and my lover 

My strength in my need,

Finally Valentine’s starting to seem

Like a permanently grounded  seed


The mud has been removed 

The water has been poured,

The sun is doing its job

Without ever being told


The seed is now 

pushing its way skywards,

Let life together for us be 

a delightful discovery forward
