This is poetry for this year’s Valentine’s Day. Enjoy!
Late Night Calls
She was counting down the hours to 12am
The time for chatting
The time for love making over voice with words
Whispering sweet nothings
She patiently counted down to 12am
Then she gave up
Time stood still
But she wanted to hear his voice again
Their parents would be asleep by then
And they had to keep their voices low
But that was romantic
For their voices sounded like honey
Flowing down a smooth green leaf
It was sweet
It was slow
Ooh, curse the time that stood still
She wanted to talk with him
And hug her pillow as she listens to his masculine voice
Which can be tasted and felt
And recorded on her heart
There was joy and there was love
His poetry doesn’t rhyme
But she likes it
Her words are not perfect
But he loves them
They have to go to school in the morning
But they didn’t care
Because falling in love was their favourite subject
And that was for a lifetime
Late night phone calls
Late night “I love
you” s
Late night poetic exchange
Late night flowing honey
Love is crazy
But it is not time wasting
