'Valentine's day'

'Valentine"s day' tomothy r gates, 2/14/2013

Valentine's day?
like st Nicholas day,
legend and folklore
weave sublime queries
transcended by glances,
here and there
by something
less and more,
breathed forward,
"I love you."
Saints and sinners
sit at table
together,
baptized by each other -
tears absorbed,
converted
knowing there's no aloneness.
i behold the Sun,
Moon gazing
in her moisture.
