This is my Valentine’s Day gift to the one earthly constant of my life: the beautiful women I call friends. Seriously, I could not handle being out here if it were not for my friends. You inspire me, you make everything in my life bearable just because I know you are out there. I’m truly blessed to know each and every one of you and so I have written a little “thank you poem” dedicated to you all. I hope you like it.
How does one give homage
To the Stars?
Tell them how beautiful they are
How their light twinkles in your
Eyes.
How does one tell a flower how
Lovely is its little blossom?
How sweet its smell, how gentle
Its kiss upon your inquisitive
Nose.
How would one tell the forest how
Holy and peaceful it is,
How majestic is its cathedral-like
Presence about you?
How would I, a simple pilgrim
Here in the wilderness
Of Life
Tell a woman how beautiful
She is?
How comely her step-by-step
Dance is upon the earth,
Her haunting eyes
Graceful neck
Musical voice
Brilliant smile
Soothing presence?
For any word man has released
From pen or tongue
Would do nothing but
Insult what words
Cannot describe or do
Justice.
How does a simple man say
Thank you to
His angels?
He adores.
Thank you my precious angels. It’s a hard life out here without you, but you are here with me in heart and soul. Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day and remember that love is a very real thing, something you realize but don’t understand, something delicate but indestructible if it is true. I’ve never known love before but I believe in it. It is worth waiting for, it is worth dying for and I will believe this until the day I die whether I touch love or not. *Extra big hugs and kisses* Happy Valentine’s Day!

great poem jake… I know i feel the same way about several people I’ve met here who are my own friends… I know you said if a guy visited here, it’d be very weird, but I couldn’t stay away from your site, mainly cause you’re the best bud who introduced me to this site, and I just had to see what was going to be up today
anyways, check out my site today… it just has a list of reasons people are going to disagree with on why I hate V-day, but visit anyway and give me all the comments you want, positive or negative about the… after all, not all criticism should be nice! remember, you can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs… so say what you gotta say about it, don’t hold back and no killing! after all, I am protected by the 1st amendment. talk at you later
