February

The Words

Companion
Crazy
Love
Memories
Win


The Vision

The Poetry

I have a long list

Dreadful words we must banish

Crazy is on it

Loving companion

They keep saying I need one 

I'd prefer a cat

I hate that feeling

The one of being in love

World swirling, helpless

Memories fleeting

As the darkness rushes in

Panic stricken eyes

Win, lose, draw, forfeit

So what's all the living for

The hug of the one

The Motivation


Well, it’s February. And what happens every February? That’s right, Valentine’s Day. Through the years I’ve had mixed feelings about Valentine’s Day. The early years when you gave and received cards and candy hearts to the members of your elementary school classes. The middle years when you ordered carnations to send to friends in your high school class. My early twenties when I was married and things were “good”. Then at 30, when the last Valentine’s Day that I was married was one of the biggest fights we ever had and I decided I wanted out. Yep, it’s been a mixed bag of good and bad.


Now, I have a relationship that is respectful, loving, and God-willing, will last a lifetime. Yep, I’ve definitely hit the relationship jackpot. Though hitting an actual jackpot wouldn’t be too bad either!
