FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

to all those who
in one moment or another
have suffered much
for love
unrequited

do not be sad
try once more if you will
savor the
flavor of love as though it were the
last baked bread
in the house of sweet affections

i know what you will
say
"it is easier said than done"
but
on the 14th day of this
month
i will not argue
with all of you

i am reserving my
same and usual
statement of the world

happy valentines

keep loving till all the
unrequited lovers of this
world
drop dead
on the loveless
road
