Candy Hearts and You

Love You   Be True
Be Mine  My Baby  All Mine
Love Me Hug Me Kiss Me
One I Love
You



Sweet and true,
like our love,
this splendid Valentine treat.

On this day for lovers,
we celebrate each other,
a love of souls complete.

I want no chocolates, hearts, or flowers.
All I need is you, and the passionate silence,
as our mouths meet in a tender kiss.

Here by your side,
while gazing in your eyes,
my heart, it beats so fast.

This perfect day
celebrated my way,
with candy hearts and you.

AUTHOR’S NOTES: This was the perfect prompt for me. I love conversation hearts, and that is the first thing I thought of when I saw this prompt. Unfortunately, my husband loves them, too. He not only eats the ones I buy him for Valentine's Day, but he also eats the ones he buys for me, so I never get any! The beginning of this poem is a bunch of sayings found on conversation hearts, and they are in the shape of a heart. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
