Valentine's Day

Bright, rinsed blue sky
         just perfect, to reflect the red and pink
of hearts

Hearts on cards,
               on chocolates,
       on balloons

All I see is a dark tunnel,
    with yellow light from failing bulbs
shadows hissing at the edge of my sight

      Shadows with those hearts,
shrouded in a torn veil,
     left fluttering in the cold winter wind

I remember the heart of chocolate
     he gave to me
The memory a trap set to go off only

on the fourteenth of February

So leave me be, in my shadows,
     with the hidden hearts
and torn veils where dreams linger
