My Valentine Poem by John Ackerman

My Valentine



My Valentine

A special touch from heaven's door
Reached out and drew me near,
He told me of the painful cross
And hurts along to sear

Yet as I lie here in my slumber,
My heart and mind begin to wonder
I think of all our glorious nights
That our love has reached its greatest heights

Now the nights are growing so cold
I long so desperately for you to hold
We have made our living fun
Since our love affair has begun

The snow was falling on the ground
Our arms reach out without a sound
For at last we're face to face,
Eagerly awaiting our first embrace

The world around us we could not see,
For now there is only you and me
So hold me in your arms tonight
Love me tenderly and we'll know its right

As our hearts begin to glow,
Through our bodies our love will flow
So even as we know this night must end,
We eagerly await our love to flow again

We have filled our world with such wild desire
With such a love as this we will never tire.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

John, you need to read some good contemporary poetry. You won't improve as a poet if you don't immerse yourself in the best current work. It's very difficult to write a formal poem that doesn't feel like an anachronism. If you'd like, check out my new website: jeffersoncarterverse.com Tell me what you think. Yrs, JC
