A Valentine Song to My Love

Image: google

True, I am in love—

So to speak, I fell head-over-heels

In love with her

The lady of my dreams

Is like boiled sweet potatoes

That you bite before sunrise

You need no sugar nor salt

She has taste!

I love her

The same way she loves me

Her love is not vain

She speaks softly to me

As if her voice was a whisper

To a butterfly

When her eyes look into mine

It is as if they peer into my heart

Her love evokes wonder within me

Love is a wonderful thing

When you are in love

It is as if you are walking on bouncing castles

The world smiles at you

The sun burns less

The wind blows right

When you switch on the radio

You hear the voice of love

The world smiles at you

When you are in love

Everything seems right

Poetry, my sweet love,

I have always known her

She is not vain nor ignorant

She is not loud nor boisterous

She is not jealous nor possessive

When I flirt with the moon

Or engage in a tète-á-tète with the sun

She doesn’t throw up her arms

Like girls do in a fit of blind rage

No, my love doesn’t do that,

She lets me be

She is wise to know that

My heart may travel many miles away

But in the evening I return

And tell her of tales most epic,

Love most strong

My babe, she loves me,

Even when I have no money

Because she knows that true love

Was never chained on monetary value

And I, a poor soul, people ask

“Lucky star, how come she loves you so?”

They think there are quick answers

They are wrong

Love is not arithmetic

It is more complex than the algorithms

I also don’t know why she loves me

She tells me she loves my small ears

I don’t know

I know that is silly

But have you realized that serious love is silly?

My love, let us escape to our hearts

Once again

I will write my love on your heart

If there be sorrow, I will be the sparrow

If there be joy, I will be the minstrel

Come closer, sweet love,

Let us escape to our hearts
