Valentines flowers

Alone on valentines, I roam, but not lonely, I own
my part in the world. paid for with tears shed as I've grown
The heart I seek could be just on the next street
or boarding a train to this town as we speak
love works in unexpected ways, it is never predictable
just a chance exchange or a smile can create something unsinkable

Often look at myself with withered eyes
disgruntled sighs, I don't like the sights
but on this day of hearts and roses
chocolates and cards, fearful proposals
I look inside and try to love every little mis-fitting edge
each broken piece, the parts that cause me to wretch
If you can't love yourself even a little inside
then how can anyone else see the magic that you hide

Alone on this Valentines eve, I breathe
air so full of energy and power, fills the lungs with belief
hope and heart go hand in hand like a young couple
taking their first stuttered steps, a warming cuddle
as the moon dances across the black ocean of space, the vast expanse
I feel love inside, for one day we will get our chance at romance
until then I enjoy the world, the stars, the colours, the wonders
the picture postcard moments that we all share, unfazed by distant thunders

So if like me you are taking in the sun on a solo journey
then don't be low, let your heart flow, like valentines flowers grow
look at the gifts you have, you will see that there are many 
and tomorrow the sun will rise and the rains will slow
the tears won't fall
for the heart that you seek
will have heard your call
so love yourself, for being unique

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.
