PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Will you be mine?

The line uttered zillions of times

Some time ago, about a year and a quarter

I wrote you a letter, a cosmic teleporter

As if I’d achieved all my dreams

hopes and wishes, superhero schemes

seeking in the external was seriously infernal

a pedantic pantomime

Though your trust I hadn’t earned

instead of being spurned

you poured more blessings into my urn

my heart began to burn

Doubts ashes in a pyre

This year instead I’m sending you this Valentine

(or would you prefer a bottle of wine?)

For all the ways you love me

wrap your arms from above me

The people, preachers and places 

Even my Herculean fall

Yes, I’ve loved them all

This love is my legacy.  J’adore j'taime.

Thank you for the beguine again

Memories wither in contrast

to the bouquet of roses you sent,

tomorrows that can’t be bought

I display them in the empty vase 

of the Fame I’ve sought

So I make you this vow

To always be married to the now

and when my time here is through

my soul’s immortal petals I’ll send to you

in this pink Valentines envelope

When you open it up, 

you and I will be drinking wine,

from a golden cup and

I will be thine, because I know you are mine.
