Love Poems For Valentine's Day

Vita Nuova

In that book 
Which is my memory

On the first page 
That is the  chapter when
I first met you
Appear the words........
Here begins a new life
~ DANTE

In your light 

I learn how to love. 

In your beauty, 

how to make poems. 

You dance inside my chest, 

where no one sees you, 

But sometimes I do, 

and that sight becomes this art. 

(Rumi)

Come Quickly

Come quickly –as soon as

these flowers open,

they fall.

This world exists

as a sheen of dew on flowers.

Izumi Shikibu




<3 With Much Love, Happy Valentine's Day! 


And a couple of deceptively simple and delicious recipes
to indulge in, while reading poetry!
