The Valentine (2009) Poem by Taylor Petty
The Valentine (2009)
Crazy, how, on some level, you have to know.
Sh-t, I’m bad at hiding it.
For, I, Sir, am a terrible actress.
Yes, I know, shocked your socks off, right?
Is my sarcasm making you laugh?
To see that smile of yours is my only aim.
To be close to you is my desire.
Not an opportune moment to say this.
Seeing as how I’m not the only one who feels this way.
I know you feel the same about her.
It kind of hurts…
Unavailable love, that is.
My heart can no longer hold this in.
You are so mind-bottling.
I’m feeling like my mind is trapped in a bottle.
But that is in a good way.
A hostile writer’s block is a thing of the past.
My future is only affable, thanks to my muse.
You inspire me to let on the pages of my diary.
They’re all about you and how you make me feel.
My single question is, do I have the courage to let you read?

This valentine was written for Christopher Lloyd Landi. Chris' full name is spelled with one letter on each line, the first letter of the first line ('C') , the second letter of the second line ('h') , the third letter of the third line ('r') , etc. It was written to mimick THE VALENTINE by Edgar Allan Poe and to express my affection through riddle. Chris went to be with the Lord in mid April 2009, I will miss him, and I will always have a special place in my heart for him.
