Poems old and new

Sweet Valentine Kisses

Sweet Valentine Kisses

The crowd around
Faded, and melted
Into the background

Leaving the two
On an island
Of their own.

The guitar played
Love’s melody
The notes floated

On the evening breeze
The silver moon, a tease
Its soft light to please

The couple locked
In a tight embrace
Swaying to a waltz.

Each simple gesture
An eye-filling picture
A heartfelt rapture.

The lovers basked
In the glorious night
Of sweet Valentine kisses

In Cupid’s grace.
