On Seynt Valentynes Day
February 25, 2011
♥ ♥ ♥ This lovely poem was my Gnomie´s Valentine this year ♥ ♥ ♥
in the cool of the garden
after supper…
…there is no merit
…in obedience to human traditions
…that supersede God’s commandments
…is it that i have heard it so much
…or misunderstand its intent
…that i ignore conviction?
a kiss and worship
from the heart,
the indwelling welling
to love, honor, and obey
is what i give you freely eagerly each day
offering unasked
this unmasked valentine
of sacrificial love
not fictitious romance
or Chaucer’s choice ideal
for to do so otherwise
unwise i would be
and but be betraying you with a kiss
in the cool of the garden
after supper.

Hello Pearl, thank you so much for visiting.
Beautiful poem! I especially love the way it circles back around to the beginning at the end.
