Be my Valentine: What does that mean?

Each of us must walk through life alone,

More deeply desolate than we have known,
Yearning for a truth we've never seen.
Valentines are from beyond that dream,
Are like a sunrise on a world of stone.
Little on this journey can we own
Except as miracles might intervene.
No way but through loving might we give
The freedom of our being to another.
In such a sacrifice we hope to live
No longer bound by dreams of flesh and bone,
Even as we bind our lives together.






I wish you were my Valentine



Though I may not be yours,
And I may, in my ignorance,
Be speaking to closed doors.
I have no inkling of your heart,
No hint what you might say;
But when I think of you the sun
Will just not go away.



There is in you a loveliness
That makes my darkness shine,
And so I'll wait, if wait I must,
To be your Valentine






Will you be my Valentine?
I know that I am yours.
You are like a tossing sea
And I am like your shores.
You are like an endless wave
And I your waiting sand.
And I will wait forever as
You come and smooth my hand.



I will wait forever, yet
You are a part of me.
I hold you in my arms, while you
Come to me endlessly.



Will you be my Valentine?
I know that I am yours.
I love you with a love that yearns
To be your golden shores.
