Valantines Day

By ♥ Leah ☺

Flowers wilt, chocolates melt. Why then do I find I can’t help myself? When you offer transitory tokens, Or your love words, Too softly spoken? If the bubbles, in the champagne never last. Why do I find myself still reaching for the glass? When you offer sweet libations, softly whispered invitations just to steal, a moment now, then an hour, succumbing to the power? Imagine the idea, the very thought, that my love, can be bought with fancy words, sweet affirmations, somehow sealed, with secret assignations. Where is the appeal, of valueless trinkets that please, lace covered cards that cajole or tease? Flowery offerings surrounded by thorns? Promises broken, Hearts shattered, and torn.
