V-Day, Belated

V-Day, Belated

A Poem by Allen Smuckler











Anatomically sound, befitting a king

swaying alertly in the waves, I sing.

Hearts, at sea, floundering and pounding

against the cavity of my chest, astounding.

 

V-Day arriving, and leaving without me

swimming with shellfish and sharks at sea.

Satisfying love’s unique quality,

and breathlessly waiting for me to be we.

 

Tortuously lying in the keel’s utter mist

waves exploding above, below and amidst.

contemplating all that I ever wished,

remembering when, at first we last kissed.

 

V-Day, a special enchanting display,

lovingly speeding, though slightly astray.

Wishing you love in a happiness way,

throughout a belated Valentine’s Day.

Rare to find an un-Valentine done so very well, and without a hint of the bitter or the snark :) Not there's anything inherently wrong with bitter snark, mind you...

Your writing is always so skillful, so evocative - But the thing that really sets it apart, at least for me, is the glimpses of wisdom, truth, and hope that slip through what you write. A heart that has seen its share of battering, but never closes.

Beautiful, really~

I'm not a fan of valentine day. If love is in a life. Best be kind and generous everyday of a life. Poem spoke in honest and strong words.
"V-Day arriving, and leaving without me
swimming with shellfish and sharks at sea."

Very nice sentiments. My Valentine's was toasted, I was sick. And the kids had crisis that wouldn't wait another day. Sooo, I can relate. lol
