This Valentine's day

An obvious poem, indeed

The best gift I could give you
On this valentine's day
Is
Not send you flowers, they are expensive
Not write poems for you, they are despicable
Not sing a Smith's song, you hate em these days
Not even remember you
Not even make a single call to the most tried number
between Texas & New Mexico
Not look at your pictures
Not make you smile with my spontaneous jokes
Not let you dream of the bright future together we have

But
work my asses off just like the best Monday of the month
write all the proposals I need to
do all the research that is pending
and reach, complete, accomplish
magical feats, incomprehensible tasks
fill expectative eyes with showers of contentment

So that
You, they and everyone else realizes
I love you everyday and not on the 14th day of the month
I am wise and organized and don't squander money
And my love for you will reach you in the form of
quantas of affection, care and genuine concern
and in packets of anti aging creams worth sixty one dollars
everyday from now and when
till tomorrow and then
till our babies have babies and their babies
have grand babies too..

Real life. That is the true test of love and you have laid it right out. Love how this flows with true meaning

. i am ecstatic beyond measure to agree with you ... thou art absolutely magical and spectacular ... as a person first and then as a poet ... now, when will you pop the question and get it over with ? ... that is the real question ...

I find this wonderful probably because I am not a Hallmark kind of girl! I think every day should be filled with romance, proclamations of love and wonder when two are one. However, how someone measures those things is very different....and in this verse I read all those things that appeal to me. My love is a provider, a hunter, a man that speaks beyond Hallmark. This has to be the make up of every day and with it has to come respect, love and care, but be pure, true and honest. Wonderful write!!!

just a day within the heart of a romantic...even love has it's holiday, and when we have tired or found that roses are red and have that repetitive effect ...we will feel the very emotions of our true meanings and feelings that keep us....within love...

nice work...
