To the Lady of the Starlight
Valentine
1
14 stanzas.
A flower a day,
What does it matter?
I’m thinking you’ll say.
Tulips, the first
Of love forgotten or neglected.
To bury the worst
Those who dejected.
2
It’s meaning is my fear.
With these efforts towards you.
It’s meaning rejection.
Carnation’s number 2.
It’s not that I fear what you do not like.
It’s that you would stop my effort
Rejection outright.
3
To brighten your days,
Here is number 3.
A sunflower–
Simply to bring you some glee.
It’s face
always seeking the light.
Dark horizon, now blazing
with a future thats bright
4
Your most sacred duty,
A maternal quest
Is why a lily is what’s up next.
A mothers love,
This ones meaning.
In a new generation,
We find hope for redeeming.
5
I’ll take number 5 to break from my rhythm.
I hope that this doesn’t bring awkwardness with’ em.
It was my hope to show you what is waiting.
Enough of my pining— its humiliating.
6
Contented existence,
The sixth of fourteen.
Forgive my persistence.
It can come off ferine.
Linguistics aside,
It may be annoying.
Next, we are halfway
through the plot I’m employing.
7
This one is different,
As you might have gathered.
I wanted a real one, but I had no power.
So from paper, I made this
with you in mind.
If I say so, myself, it is quite fine.
8
Number 8 was a mystery,
I was struck dumb
Then it him me
A Spider mum.
The florist thinks you’ll be spoiled
By such acts of Admiration.
I’m just hoping its not weird
Or deserving condemnation.
9
Ninth you’re met,
This with an orchid.
I’m sure that the theme
Is entering orbit.
To start something wondrous,
A splendid assignment.
These petals carry
the meaning of refinement
10
Number ten is for friends,
Which is what I was expecting.
Then you got under my skin,
And I’m suspecting,
That by now a friendship will be consolation.
A far-cry from romantic exultation
Your friendship is welcome nevertheless
To know you, I’m no less blessed
11
A four letter word
Chrysanthemums bring.
Hope.
That I can make your heart sing.
12
If you have lost count,
This is twelve.
On a rocky mount,
Iris roots have delved.
To protect itself, it will go any length.
It, like you, is the meaning of strength.
13
I smiled
When I saw the daisies meaning.
It means new beginnings.
We’re nearing the ending.
14
A cliche.
A rose.
For today, please accept.
I’m bamboozled with hope.
However that isn’t the reason.
I wanted to induce a mental change of seasons.
So this idea came to mind, I typed for hours.
Embarrassed by the cheesiness,
And researching flowers.
Contacting the florist,
who gushed about the idea.
Then doubted I could pull it off.
I had reasonable fears.
Deliver flowers daily.
I must be fucking crazy.
To a woman, I’ve known 3 weeks.
She’s gonna freaking taze me.
However, I’m a man of bold ambition,
I was willing to risk the social perdition.
I did all I could.
I’m only one man.
I hope you’ve smiled and healed,
as much as you can.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Lady of the Starlight.
