Valentine's Day Poem

The lunar sky reflected in a chlorine horizon

A boy with his girl in a boat

He sells his life and his vision

She writes it into her own

The mermen play their gilded trumpets

The quiet stars behold their growing love

Such youth a detriment to greatness

Their bursting hearts a proof for more

Dark men seek to scavenge

And Evil spirits long to suppress

Their love’s birth threatened by salty sands

Their purpose lost in the tides of briny sea

Swift, Alight to the Begetter

Quicken to the flint of the moon

A child’s heart awaits with soft whispers

Cool pillows for weary eyes and souls
