Valentine Locked Away... Poem by Margaret Alice

To a special, secret Valentine – you don’t
know who you are, I have Beeblebroxed
my brain, sliced it into compartments, you
exist in a secret place - I keep you buried
where everyday awareness cannot find a
way unto you, no access to the knowledge
locked away

Other visions and dreams have been super-
imposed over you, you can’t be seen, even I,
writing here, don’t know who you are; wishing
you a Happy Valentine’s Day, if you get goose-
bumps on reading this, it might be you, if you
remain cold and unmoved, it never was
meant for you...
