Valentines Day by BJ Neblett

          Valentines Day

Candy coated memories

Sugar sprinkled fears

Chocolate drops of sorrow

Bitter and sweet tears

Greeting cards of perfumed verse

Hearts with painted lies

Words that melt in your mouth

Rose that wilts and dies

Lover’s kisses passion’s touch

All grow cold in time

Promise to forget-me-not

Be my Valentine

Leaving by BJ Neblett

            Leaving

When a star falls where does it go?

Does it run and hide from the other stars

Ashamed of its own mortality?

Is there a place

            A town

                     A city where fallen stars go?

Where they cry their troubles to others like them

Talk about their problems

            Find support groups for fallen stars

Is there a doorway from the sky?

You say you are leaving

            Fallen from my sky

            Out of my world

                        My universe

                                    My life

Where will you go my love?

Have you found a doorway out of my heart?
