no magic
nothing to conjure
pain follows
any intent to injure
yet we do
over and over again
look away
after causing pain
wake up
talk about coffee and toast
remain suspicious
make plans for valentine’s dinner with duck roast
~
all magic
so much to conjure
pain follows not
when there is no intent to injure
when we choose to love
over and over again
never look away
after causing pain
it is beautiful to wake up
talk about coffee and toast
have the courage to love again
celebrate valentine’s on the west coast
making time
to play on the beach
follow butterflies
out of reach
look up at the black night sky
to catch a glimpse of falling white snowflakes
always making time for a loved one
dark hot chocolate and mini cupcakes
to pause
to smile
to reach out
for your valentine always go the extra mile
