HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

In the strange history of the "Holy" Roman Catholic Church the legend of Valentine's Day ranks up there as one of the more colorful myths. I really don't care if he was real or not, I really don't care if the date was "fixed" by the church to make sure that pagan celebrations were folded into the new religion, what I care about is that we really need a day dedicated to love.

This is it. Enjoy.

And I leave you with this most heart-felt Valentine. (I only wish I had written it originally)


Burgundy Heart-Shaped Medallion

If I had a spell of magic,
I would make this enchantment for you.
A burgundy heart-shaped medallion
with a window that you could look through.

So that when all the mirrors are angry
with your faults and all you must do,
you could peek through that heart-shaped medallion,
and see you from my point of view.

Be Mine.
