Thinking of,

    kitten cuddly tenderness

       or pale pink petals that open

          and release a wisp of spring in the air

                or a hint of a wish on a smile, 

                      sweeping lashes

                           and one melting teardrop,   of  joy

                         or a hand that slightly brushes a cheek

                   lips plump and sweet

               that linger for a moment,

            just between mine

         a necktie undone like a satin ribbon,

     tissue - cotton shirttails unwrapped, 

 slowly

    or fingers that slide

       through silky long tresses,

          faint feathery whisperings

             of love,

             and you,

               my Valentine

                 cradled in the warmth of the moon, bathed in the stars

                    oh so gently, in my arms
