Happy Valentine’s Day!

i.

You hung the moon around my neck,

I’ll put the tides in your eyes.

ii.

I didn’t listen closely enough when we first met, but I am now.

Somewhere along the line I started to get

bits and pieces of you

stuck in my head.

Now I have almost learned you by heart.

Songbird lover, won’t you recite all the melodies your mind has composed just for me?

I want to hear all of the sounds

that occupy your space

when I am not around.

iii.

All of these memories

are silver and

engraved into me.

Count your blessings, people say, so I count the days

I have known you.

iv.

You kiss me until

I’m tissue paper blue.

v.

How can I ever hope to describe the shape of this love, so impossibly infinite?

It’s a match that never burns up,

never blows out.

It’s the flicker of flame all along my windowsill

that lets you know

I’m waiting for you to come home.

vi.

Everywhere you touched me, you planted gardens.

Spring has arrived and all of me is sprouting, blossoming into red roses, a dozen at a time.

You told me once that sometimes you wake up and you don’t know

if you’ll ever feel the sun again, you find

yourself beneath the earth, somewhere too far down for light to go.

Don’t be afraid to cry on my shoulder, darling -

it helps the flowers grow.
