Saint Valentine’s Day Poem

Time to tweak this bad-boy.

Cut me to the bone

with your tongue

Break my heart

with your tortures

But my Love

when you turn your smile onto me

the pain and heartbreak

go away and

I recall why and know that

I love you

  1. ST, You put me in mind of these lines by Roethke, from The Waking: (and I hope you like them, because I do)
    “This shaking keeps me steady. I should know/What falls away is always. And is near./ I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow./ I learn by going where I have to go.”

  2. Thanks for both the education and sublime compliment! I had not read that poem before, and yes I think I can see some parallels to mine as well. Mr. Roethke seems to have met life head on and paid a (heavy?) price for it.
