♥Love is in the Air♥
By: Kenji

Pierrot le Fou
~
somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously) her first rose
or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

I love your daring hang glides over meadows and ravines,
I love your scrummy puddings and the way you stir the beans.
I love the Cleopatran contours of your eyebrows when you frown,
I love the smile that lights your face outside the shops in town.
I love the way you snuggle furry bunnies to your chest,
I love your flair for reading maps that turns the East to West.
I love your feisty frissons when the room’s left in a mess,
I love the riffling breezes that flow up your summer dress.
I love your dainty frolics on a wet and cobbled street,
I love it when your nipples and the autumn moonlight meet.
I love your warm compassion and Scheherazadean eyes,
But most of all i love to run my fingers up your thighs.

for a less commercialised day of love than Valentine’s Day i would suggest the Welsh St Dwynwen’s Day, 25th January.
