The flowers, the candy,

a walk in the park;

wholesome desires

inside of a card.

The laughs, the kisses,

a dance at The Hall;

our eyes interlocked

the future's bright.

Of course, it is all welcome

but I'll make you a deal:

this next Valentine's...

...I just want to feel.

About the Creator

Alex Torres

Started writing short stories back in 1988 at work, when I had an empty page to fill for the employee's internal magazine. Taking the pen again after a 30 year-long hiatus, exploring where it takes me this time.
