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'

valentine
"It wasn't love at first sight. It took a full five minutes."—Lucille Ball
spare me the shallow red balloons
that wither with dead afternoons,
when sunlight fades
and pulls the shades
o'er cupid's festive morning runes.
spare me the i-love-yous that fly
like cumulus across the sky
only to weep
into the deep,
when valentine whispers goodbye.
spare me the to-do and alarm
whose flippancy brings far more harm
than nothing said
over my bed
that wears the guise of fickle charm.
spare me...
spare me the shallow red balloons
that wither with dead afternoons,
when sunlight fades
and pulls the shades
o'er cupid's festive morning runes.
spare me the i-love-yous that fly
like cumulus across the sky
only to weep
into the deep,
when valentine whispers goodbye.
spare me the to-do and alarm
whose flippancy brings far more harm
than nothing said
over my bed
that wears the guise of fickle charm.
spare me...

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

If I Was Cupid...
If I was Cupid…
I’d make two of the most hateful manliest homophobes
Feel something for each other in their souls
So that their core beliefs would rock in their foundations
And that their erections couldn’t be controlled
Whenever they looked into each other’s eyes
If I was Cupid…
I’d make two people from different faiths and creeds
Who have hatred and bigotry for each other’s cultures
Fall in love to the point they couldn’t stand to be apart
So that they would realize religion doesn’t really count
When it comes to matters...
I’d make two of the most hateful manliest homophobes
Feel something for each other in their souls
So that their core beliefs would rock in their foundations
And that their erections couldn’t be controlled
Whenever they looked into each other’s eyes
If I was Cupid…
I’d make two people from different faiths and creeds
Who have hatred and bigotry for each other’s cultures
Fall in love to the point they couldn’t stand to be apart
So that they would realize religion doesn’t really count
When it comes to matters...
