Poems For Valentines Day
This Day of Love I Take a Vow

This day of love I take a vow

To love you well through all the days

Of long and labyrinthine ways:

But I would love you anyhow.

These words bespeak my unbent will

To love despite the passing pain,

Anger, lust, fear, silence, shame:

But without words I'd love you still.

A vow of love's the final seal

Upon an edict fully writ,

Not altering the sense of it,

Nor adding to the love we feel;

Or like an oarsman worth his weight

Upon a current swift and strong

That bears the fragile boat along

To where it meets its cherished fate.

So why a vow on Valentine?

Like any vow, to bind me to

Whatever I am bound to do:

Words that ride the wordless wind.
