Whether you’re with good friends or the love of your life, I hope you are all celebrating this day. Promise yourself all good things not only this month but always. And as is so often said, “follow your heart” in all you do and grow your passion for whatever and whoever you love. One of my joys is sharing my writing with others so here is a poem I’ve written that speak to love and passion.
Passion
A first dance dress with rhinestone buttons
Valentine from first time sweetheart.
The sounds of love first discovered.
The whisper of taffeta
A rocket firing.
Salt of blood from cut finger
Twisted licorice stick
Lush velvet curtains shutting out the light
Sunset on a hot summer day
Love, pure love, life poured out for another.
