Valentines Valentines
57.
..@ Valentines I think of her
older and more elusive
some of her dead, the favourite ones
and I wonder, is surrender on the cards
the odd tall whore, 15 minutes
of pretend, or oblivion, or penance...
pick any two
Valentines is like Christmas or
New year's eve, or windy nights
or rainy days, fantastic sunsets, sunrises,
apart from that
alone is quite comfortable,
pleasing, satisfying...

Mr M... what are you smoking ? ... laughs... yes there is a degree of Zen in all of this, personally I prefer to take on the role of the wooden spoon... Drax
lol. aren't you the sentimental one this year? I'm glad I'm not tall. :p
on a serious note, it's a beautiful piece, d. startling from image to image and unexpectedly tender, once considered.

thank you.. who said tall girls have all the fun... ?
Valentines is that kind of Day, forget Christmas and all that.., except Easter Monday... for obvious reasons.... definitely maudlin as Valentines approaches...

I love her having parts, favourite parts, even dead parts. I loved the ambiguity of surrender. whose... hers? the anonymous poets? both? I like that just how it is. unclear. so much of life is just like that.
I like the minutes stated so specifically, as kind of a contrast for the ambiguity.
and penance. I know that one too.
I don't find it maudlin, not the poem and I have to say not V day which I don't care about. I don't really do dayz. probably a good thing too~

Thanks Iðunn ... this is one for the New Yorkers since there is an element of surrender, an element of protest, an element of hopelessness, an element of the dichotomy of living alone in ... 'peace'...

If you have reached contentment,
Loniliness is really only a little while.
Whe I awake you will be still there.
Thank you
