Not
romantically linked to anyone? Never mind, love comes in all shapes and forms.
Most of us have family, friends, pets...
If you
have none of these, all the more reason to stop feeling sorry for yourself and…
Let love
touch your heart today and always. Better late than never...
BETTER
LATE THAN NEVER
A winter
cold near freezing;
city
roads, country lanes
merging
into a long nightmare;
me,
having no idea
where to
go or what to do
for
thinking about you,
and then I
saw you standing there,
smiling
and grey,
like the
winter sun, bursting
to
re-appear, spread
a share
of happiness for those
of us
quick on the uptake,
seeking
to fill our hearts with love
than
stand by
and watch
them break for the sake
of a
bruised ego or two;
I didn’t
know what to say to you,
lips frozen
and blue...
Besides,
how to tell how sorry
for our
quarrel - over
your
being out and my being not
and
neither of us willing
to
compromise our points of view
(no
surprise we parted)
I watched
you cross towards me
and caved
in. You win...
It’s time
to tell the world and hold
my head
up high;
hand in
hand, St Valentine’s Day,
proud and
gay
