Isn't it (Not) Romantic?
i am a woman
and I don't like the word 'romantic'
sorry Hallmark
sure, i like some things
that are 'romantic'
the color pink (light pink, silvery pink)
lace
beaches
holding hands
kisses
massages
love
but i dislike the fundamentalism
of the word 'romantic'
with its mandated Valentines Days
pre-conceived notions
expectations
disappointment
budget-breaking engagement rings
bridezillas ("my special day is ruined!")
and many 'shoulds'
i once happily shared...
and I don't like the word 'romantic'
sorry Hallmark
sure, i like some things
that are 'romantic'
the color pink (light pink, silvery pink)
lace
beaches
holding hands
kisses
massages
love
but i dislike the fundamentalism
of the word 'romantic'
with its mandated Valentines Days
pre-conceived notions
expectations
disappointment
budget-breaking engagement rings
bridezillas ("my special day is ruined!")
and many 'shoulds'
i once happily shared...

Valentine's Day So Far .....
Got up same time
Took out the trash
Went to CVS
Bought card and dark chocolate for the wife
Did exercise
Watched Meet the Press
Ate breakfast
Drank coffee
Got a Valentine's kiss
Played scrabble online
Pretty much like any other day
Still special in meaning
Hearts and minds
Wrote this poem
Now what ?
Took out the trash

Drank coffee

Enmity
Cupid, kiss my ass;
let me choose my own desires
---- returned your arrow
let me choose my own desires
---- returned your arrow

This Valentine's Day
be your own—
know your worth;
arise from the lost world
of swan-song and youth
Honor your growth
because it's your Truth;
allow this dawn to anoint
your violet voice
Indulge in joy
because you deserve;
cast yourself as belief—
silence the bells tolling
for the loneliness of yore;
Love like you've never
swallowed its honey before
~
know your worth;
arise from the lost world
of swan-song and youth
Honor your growth
because it's your Truth;
allow this dawn to anoint
your violet voice
Indulge in joy
because you deserve;
cast yourself as belief—
silence the bells tolling
for the loneliness of yore;
Love like you've never
swallowed its honey before
