Valentine’s Day

It’s Valentine’s Day
Here, I woke at dawn
Not for the fanfare
Or something to wear
Just a gentle loving kiss
To be a Valentine Princess
My thoughts ran, a quiet hiss
Kept me without much sleep
As the dawn light faded
And the Sun’s ray caught me
Waited, waited to hear this
Flavored, laced with a touch of bliss
Waited for prolonged moments
That turned into anxious minutes
And then into boring hours
Only to see it dismissed
On the one special day
That comes just once a year


It’s Valentine’s Day
I dream of that love
That’ll look through my eyes
Embrace me with warmness
Look deeply with affection
And say with a gentle embrace
“You're special and nice.
And say to me precisely
Your cheerfulness makes me glad,
Your smile warms me
It feels like moonbeams
Your love strengthen my dreams
And captures my heart forever
You and you alone my dear
You’re my fair lady
My Princess and my Queen
Yes, you are my Valentine
To me, you're everything!”
Yes, I know I’ll hear those words
Relish in a gentle loving arms
In a love that’s unwavering
Delight fully in an unqualified love
Wholly cherished, appreciated
Both now and years ahead!

Beautiful Silence

© Musue N. Haddad

There is silence.
Here, there, yonder,
Where are the folks?
Not the ones who gloat;
Theirs is nuisance.
As for the goats,
Annoying bleaters!
Pass the ones who groan.
It is hindrance.
Ah, ah! Not the crooks.
I’ll pay fee of sixpence;
For sure voidance.
Rather march with the grouts,
A silent mergence,
Without grievance.
