~
our bond etched across the sky
painted in soft light and puffy clouds
the wind gently whispers your name
sensually brushing across my skin
shivers rush down my spine
awakening the sleeping bear
a deep hunger surges within
stirring primal urges to connect
will you be mine?

This is my fanciful ode to love and romance for Valentine’s. I’m a little rusty on romantic poetry, but I hope this awakens something in you. Maybe some good feelings, a smile, or a desire to connect. Flowers and nature bring out feelings of love for me. May we share our love and light throughout the year, not just for Valentine’s Day. And just maybe, my sweetheart will hear this call across the ethers to join me in the dance of love and life. 💕
Happy Valentine’s Day! 💘
writing to freedom 
Happy Valentine’s Day, Brad!

Romance is highly overrated. I think it’s better to invest in good relationships with people around me – family, friends, and friends of friends. Pay it forward and be good to others. It will come back to you.

If it’s meant to happen, it will happen. If you’ve had a partner and lost, hang onto the memories and forge ahead. Happiness will find you. Meanwhile, enjoy the benefits of having your own space and make the most of it.

Hello
My favorite part about the romantic poem – was how the first section connected to that
sky photo and then the rich and evocative second half seemed to be completed by the large, vibrant colors in the flower. It was really a well-combined post
