Happy Valentine's Day

I swear, since seeing your face,
the whole world is fraud and fantasy
The garden is bewildered as to what is leaf
or blossom. The distracted birds
can't distinguish the birdseed from the snare.

A house of love with no limits,
a presence more beautiful than venus or the moon,
a beauty whose image fills the mirror of the heart.

~ Rumi ~



The minute I heard my first love story,

I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere,
they're in each other all along.

~ Rumi ~





Pour lui ...

  1. Message to my Valentine.

    Roses are red,
    Pansies are purple;
    On the pancakes of life
    You're my Maple Syrple!

  3. Why do I get the impression that someone is developing a crush on someone else? If you break out singing "On the Street Where You Live", I'll know that's the case. At least that's what I've been known to do.

    Happy Valentine's Day, Invictus. I can hardly tell you how much I appreciate your blog.

    @Joe - Of course love is in the air! It's Valentine's Day. I have to say, it has taken on a vibrant new multi-colored hue this year. :)
