Funny Valentines -no wife was a trophy

 WhatWhat can I say to show you my love on this holiday, that wouldn't be cliché? Well this isn't my best, but I hope it's enough to get you through to next Valentine's. 


My woman warrior

well-mannered or wicked,

depending on your audience,

whether respectable or dickheads.


The latter is attracted to you

it seems, on your crusade,

to give voice to the just and logical,

in your own way, unafraid. 


On twitter and facebook

and even wordpress,

your erudite speeches flow out

as if only caressed


Responsible and caring,

helping all your friends and family,

always listening to your boyfriend,

whether on guitar or just rambling.


Staying up all night to talk,

(or is it for the memes?)

Answering my calls early mornings,

to tell me about your dreams


These distances that divide us,

Are physical and real,

but these moments that unite us,

still lay naked how we feel.


When a camera is as close

to kissing you as I'll get,

I better get a haircut soon,

I better look my best.


But I know our love is beyond

mere appearances.

Greater than 8,000 miles

Including past and future tenses.


Whatever lies before us

is bound to exceed the past.

I hope you'll always love me.

I hope you'll be my last.

You've been too good to me,

my woman warrior,

for all the world to see. 


Love,
