SONG OF A VALENTINE

Life is full


Only when I live it with you.


Love is real


Only when I behold it in your eyes.


Wine intoxicates


Only when I taste it on your lips.


Fire becomes pleasure


Only when I touch it with you.


Cold begets fire


Only when you’re here with me:


When wafts of love begin to soar,


Whispering my endless love for you.
