My Loving Bloody Valentine

You are the butterfly

that fluttered high

the azure allure of unshuttered sky

within the bell jar of my heart

no fragile cloche could hope to contain

a lepidopteran hurricane

the sheets of rain on arid plain

the thundering rolling downtown train

your beating wings did start

through all the lives I could have walked

in only one would I meet you

and when I did, begin to live

you were the witch who gave me wings

unlocked my golden chrysalis

my precious papillon valentine

for you forever

love entwined

my loving bloody valentine

to here

knows when

eternity

come back again

and set me free

you are the Devil moon

stole from the skies

i could live forever in your eyes

bathe me in insanity

and free me from dull gravity

my blood red moon, lunar eclipse

the taint that blushes both your lips

crimson, burgundy, vermilion

one chance to dance

one grain of sand within a million

my loving now lined valentine

it feels like standing near the edge

screw up my eyes

the world drops dead

i could live forever in this bed

you need not touch my chin

to lift my head

my silver flecked and well held valentine

you are still a sparkling bubbling stream

the white water, the air between

the flashing light of last nights dream

who lifted all my silly cautions

my stifling bell jars hot distortions

alpha omega

a love like cedar

my evergreen valentine
