Valentins Poem by Dejanae Moore

I hid you for a long time
the way a branch hides its
slowly ripening fruit among leaves,
and like a flower crystal of ice
on a winter window
you open in my mind.
In my heart I keep
the sparkle of your eyes
the tender warmth of your smile
the small tilt of your head
the delicate curves of your soft body
and I dream
dream of holding you close
caring for you, protecting you
and loving you always.

When I think of love...
I think of roses and red hearts...
quiet walks...
and very soft, tranquil music...
I envision an eagle taking flight on a crisp fall morn...
the first snowflake in the winter...
and the sound of the first robin in the spring
I envision a glorious sunrise...
a spectacular rainbow...
and stars brightly shining on a summer night...
But most of all, I envision you...
your eyes radiating warmth, joy and vibrance...
and the tender feelings in my heart
from your friendly smile.
