on this day, everyday
tongue the sweet spot
in the thumbprint hollow of my neck
tease my ankles
with calloused fingertips,
exploring
lay your cheek
against the soft pillow
of my lips
read me to sleep
rock me to abandon
feed me enticing words
and exotic flavors
learn my terrain
the valleys, crooked paths,
the perfect imperfections
write for me
fall into me
sing to me
make me
shiver
laugh
and weep
but please,
don't send me flowers
Very nice, enjoyed the read, love your talent.

Oh Diana I love the way you paint such beautiful pictures ♥
A lot could be said, especially (and exactly) regarding the poem's title and the way you counterpoint it's dramatic (and beautiful) content. "No" to what's been taken for granted considering the commercialism associated with this day (Valentine's; and I'm referring to what's become a "habit" in the country where I live, Portugal). "No" to the Love made object. And a (final?) "No" because, of all feelings, Love should be (I know it isn't and probably won't be any time soon...) the all present force we humans should live our days by and not just something to be celebrated (again a major "?") on the 14 th of every February...
