Valentine

I bought you a valentine,

It was simple and true,

It uncaged my heart,

I couldn’t give it to you,



For fear of rejection,

For fear of disgrace,

I’d pour out my heart,

As I looked in your face,



If it’s courage you want,

It can’t be found here,

For when you walk by,

My heart flutters with fear,



So here’s how it read,

I’ll let it all show,

I’ll write it all out,

I'll let it all go,



"I held her in my arms

I could hear her say

'All you have to do

is feel the music, and sway.'

She was so right

So alive, warm and near

I could feel the song slide

and resolve disappear

A beautiful Orchid

bringing more than pleasure in sight

Owning my thoughts

'Til I find solace in night"

Author's Notes/Comments: 

i was finally inspired to write the poem in the poem, but now i can't actually give it to her... it sound's too dramatic... gah... if the person reads it, they'll know who it's for...
