[hometext] => After you lose someone you love, it's the holidays that stand out in your memory, for me it's always been Valentine's Day I remember so kindly!
[bodytext] => Quiet were his way, his thoughts deeper than any distance. Searching constantly for answers, a ghost of his brilliance. I'd known him almost all my life, a neighbor living 'cross the street. Yet, he was much older, just a friend, like an older brother, real neat! Years passed without any close notice. Then one summer, my years increased and the span between was scoreless. I was breathless when he first asked for a date! I hesitated, for a moment to adjust....... or maybe just wait! We dated for three solid weeks almost every single eve. He never approached me, n'er a kiss perceive. We were so compatible, unreal, hard to believe? Married in just three weeks, solid bond, yet neither of us were naive. A reader of books, constantly, nose stuck in one with three opened, page chosen. Deepest part of his heart was reserved for me protective, considerate, fine, tender beauty. Big dark black eyes of compassionate understanding. No need for speech, they conveyed his every yearning. A Field Engineer for Western Electric Company Installing the guidance system in the Nike Ajax Missile broadly. We moved every single month all over the world. Newly weds traveling, so deeply in love, our hearts swirled! In Hartford Connecticut, if my mind's memory aligns. He was always very romantic, roses, refined. A small package wrapped beautifully after we dined. Inside the wrapping I found a huge complicated book! I couldn't image, but would have never hurt his heart, so I slowly took another look! It was the Russian Poet's book known as "Dr. Zhaivago. Generous and giving, he was so thrilled, and so sure I'd like this gift, I didn't want my disappointment to show. The names in that book were inches long, and I had to make a list just to keep track. Because it was pure drudery trying to read, and stay focused, my interest soon would lack...... He was so pleased when I had put the book down. He relished reading it one Saturday all day until sundown. You see he had lived as a bachelor for many years, he was 28, loved his books galore. It was a book he thought he would adore, so give it to me with much amour! We'd only been married about 6 months or more. Valentine's Day never comes my way, without remembering our first Valentine's Day. After I grew older, I read his treasured book, and loved it page by page in everyway!  Our wedding picture Sept 6, 1958, I lost my favorite Valentine, March 10, 1971 The day he died!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
