On The 14th Of February Poem by Jordan Legaspi

On the 14th of February


As I walk through, and confronting the edge,
soliciting, familiarizing the years of my solitude
the world: our house and our home, after my pledge
of love and loving you till death, my Jerthrude.
Thirteen years and more since the kiss-
the enchantment, the sweet spell of our youth
simple cards- notes of love and the care, ‘tis
the melody had played, and it brought
tender touch to the heart, that soon will rest
to her bed of roses- the savor of my offered love,
of promise, of eternal vow; at my best
to keep the memories of what I used to have;
colorful as it was, my endless valentine
from the day I loved you till this last glass of wine.
