V

Valentine, I looked up in my diaries for a poem that matches. But time judges that I should be wiser now than ever. I read once -in a story for children- that love is wiser than philosophy, and that should exclude love from language. Everyone comes upon valentine with a story to tell, it should be surely a story! Story is almost a standard adverb for Love.

In my love day,
I shall think of the gardens of red flowers,
I shall think of the old seller down the street.

Of master cooks who make
Chocolate

Or shall I think of a beautiful lady and a man holding her hand?

Maybe my thought becomes nicer if she pushes him to the fountain,
then, runs away!

Or maybe I shall think of a father who reserved a very romantic table,
in their favorite dining place,
“but please, can you add five little chairs”

Shall I think of love in pairs?
I’m afraid,
love might be a place!

No, no, it should be a “time in place
Was it place or space?
It’s space!
It’s place!
It is nowhere dear, you’re only dreaming,

A dream! What an idea of love.

Is a dream wiser than philosophy?
If love is a myth,
Then only reality needs it.

We need love in every bit of detail in our lives, because you will never know when does language falls apart.

I guess every day is a valentine's day..depends how one wants to spread the love..love is not between two people..it can be giving it to a poor by passing a smile or a rich by greeting them well...Happy Valentine's Day to all of you who are celebrating it out there :)

Happy V-Day sweety :**

L O V E is not a space nor a place! its what fills the "space" and make the "place" better! i guess...

LOVE = LIFE

is it a dream??

well dreams do sometimes come true and if they don't i'll keep sleeping to keep dreaming so don't wake me up ;p

HAPPY VALENTINE TO ALL

Purploona,
i understand your angle and i appreciate it, and wish to believe in it but unfortunately, i don't
think that love equals life, i wish though :)

as i neither believe that dreams come true, for dreams is an expanded conception of reality in my opinion.

but i will wake you up itha shift issalfa 6awwalat ! :P

The Simper:
Happy supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Valentine :P

thanks for the sweet comment, keep up the little details :)

your comment remind me of "buy me a rose" by Luther Vandross.
-about the wedding, the gossip was hyper and subsequently "unrepeatable" :D
