V-Day, Belated

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.

I`m a fan of Allen`s writing, his poems as well as his stories. This is a good theme poem, well written. Good work.

very good writing. A great subject matter as well. The timing on the poetry was really good.

The whole poem was more than just good, but that third stanza was something special, this is an excellent tribute to this sort of theme, it flowed beautifully. Thanks.

Valentine's Day is a wonderful day to celebrate love in all forms, whether it be friends, lovers, or spouses... even family is included in this occasion. And when it is belated it still has the power to evoke heartfelt emotions. Lovely write. Thank you for sharing.
