 Happy Valentine's Day...My Darren! Love was dead and fading away. I found my picture of you. I remembered your face. The autumn morning released the delicious treasure! We'd swim and kiss at sunset. I felt found. Once, I was a child who wandered in the snow barefoot. Worldly people never made me feel beautiful. My self-esteem was worn-out. I found love in your company; The place I enjoyed! You were a poet and singer bursting with the beauty in the night. Your sunset was filling my heart with a flood of love! Your art gallery Transformed a winter in my heart With a masterpiece, Painting flames that kept my love afire! The pools of your cobalt eyes were refreshing in the desert heat of nights in summer. Crimson lights of autumn reflected your poetry. This morning, a glorious painted sky Was glowing with heavenly crimson, reflecting a rainbow of love beyond death! I pushed away the feelings of grief to relive your poetry. As long as I feel your watchful eye, I refuse to be broken. I will every year wish you Happy Valentine's Day...My Darren!
