Hearts and Souls Entwine
As dusk adopts a scarlet hue,
cerise ribbons package the night.
And an owl bids daylight adieu,
silhouetted against last light.
Our hearts hitch a ride to the moon,
on the wings of a turtledove.
And shining like a gold doubloon,
Luna smiles down upon our love.
Our spirits rise above the Earth,
untethered from their mortal perch.
And discover love's actual worth
lies in the finding; not the search.
We kiss below a blushing Mars,
letting our hearts and souls entwine.
And as the moon outshines the stars,
golden beams crown my Valentine.
