10 Ways

Valentine's Day this year inspired pages of poetry across the world: words of love and heartbreak. The following poem I wrote on Valentine's Day emcompasses all of those day's feelings... Called 10 Ways of Looking at Love

To embrace the heavy heart

Of love's past

To emrace the void

With open arms

 

Tinkling of glass hope

Whispers of affection

Splashes of dreams

 

Hidden in the eyes

Of a lost stranger

Reaffirmed

With a kiss

 

The gleaming sun

Shining down on

Hopeful hearts of the young

 

Eternal oceans of

Loving

Infinite skies of

Wishing

Endless coasts of

Longing

 

The one and only

To stand from a crown of millions

The pearl in the sand

The needle in the haystack

Careful now

 

Rolling,

Stronger and stronger

Catapulting through fierce,

fiery emotion and

feeling

 

Anticipation, butterflies

Scattering in a burning field

Their wings hot with fervor

 

A pillow to the stone

To ease the blow

To catch the fall

To hold the heavy heart

Of a love

 

Reaching towards the sun

Breathtaking

Looking into the light

The light that blinds

The love that is light

The love that is bright
