This Valentine

Feeling that love’s hard, at best times
And often, we come to be
Like forged rock, the way it just
Is, crafted and raw. Our babies charm
Me over with the same indifference
To origin and structure and work.
My heart will speak now, never
More succoured than to see time
With you, to try being somehow
Beholden in how our desires are
At any one point and stretching
To the flux, allowing the movement
To bind us. It will be alright
To be anyhow. I know because
You saved my life, once and
Every day, my pride flies
Because your happiness is happening.
I have always been in love with you,
My best love, saved to weather
The way the rocks do, smoothing over time
Out of the wind.
