A Writer Takes His Pen, to Write the Words Again, That All in Love is Fair

Labels: Relationships / Valentine's Day

The St. Valentine's Day massacre is upon us and it's D-Day in relationships across the globe. Fellas, I hope you got the right size, right color roses (red is for love), remembered that she's allergic to coconut, made your reservations, found the perfect gift and got plenty of rest. If not, sucks to be you, because women are not playing this Valentine's Day. For some reason it seems as if the softer sex is going a bit harder this year when it comes to the day that love springs eternal…even if it is for only 24 hours. I don't recall coming across so many women who were in a tizzy over the 14^th of February. It seems as if the 2K10 version of V-Day is bringing out the emotions.

I consider Valentine's Day in the same manner as I do Black History Month, just because it's on the calendar, doesn't mean that I have to go overboard for it. Just as Black Americans should honor their history, culture and contributions year round, couples should put the effort into displaying the amount of affection, warmth and love from January 1^st – December 31^st and not just ramp it up halfway through February.  How do measure the sincerity, by the amount spent? Oh I got it, it's how thoughtful the gestures (gifts) were that counts. So, buying you new tires last week for your car wasn't sincere or thoughtful?

It's really senseless to me and I know I've let a woman or ten down in my day when it comes to this "holiday"…toughen up chief! I can scale back on all we had planned from July through the end of the year to make you feel more special just today if you like, or we can go about our business, watch this game, fall asleep in each other's arms and no that I love you the same on February 15^th as I did yesterday when the sucka for loves were trying to prove their love against a standard set by who?

And for you single ladies that are feeling a little down today, don't fret, love yourself more than you every have, bitter ain't cute! Stop concerning yourself with what you don't have at the moment and work on improving what do and can control.
Besides, I'm more into birthdays anyway, that is truly your day and to express my love and appreciation for you on that day is far more special than sharing it with everyone else. Please believe, that I am not just the love-hater, I'm actually in love as I type this message and even took the time out to express my love poetically. I guess I'm overwhelmed by the love in the air today…

Some people seem to think I have a way with words

I just simply like to play with words

Sometimes, the way I feel is hard to say with words

At those moments, I'm just OK with words

Alcatraz, words never escape me, but your radiant beauty has committed larceny and robbed me of my train of thought

I'm speechless, tight-lipped, voiceless, wordless, it's my tongue the cat caught

I search my vocabulary, angel is best suited to define

But I'm speechless, tight-lipped, voiceless, wordless, my mouth is weak, the funny valentine

Synonymous with timeless, endless in your existence, you must be magic

A goddess Greeks have never known, you must be tragic

As if you were born from the Bard's feather

Indelible, your signature upon my heart lasts forever

You're the deferred dream realized, silencing cries of despair

The perfect part of the speech for me to share

But I'm speechless, tight-lipped, voiceless, wordless, at these moments I'm just OK with words

Because the way I feel is hard to say with words

And even when I simply play with words

You have easily gotten away with words
