  Happy Valentine’s Day everyone, especially the beautiful women I know frequent my humble little page every so often. That’s right. If you are female and reading this, or you are my best friend Billy (haha), you are beautiful. How do I know? It’s a given. Bet you didn’t know that, did you? Anyways, here is a poem I hope you will all enjoy. I’ll try my darnest to post a new poem every day this week as a tribute to all the women in my life.

  
  

  PS- Since I’ve been spending all my creative juices writing poetry for Mystery Girl the past week or two, I apologize but most, if not all, subsequent poetry this week will not be brand-new, but written in the near-past. Maybe later I’ll post brand-new stuff, fresh from the pen but for now you’ll have to settle for stuff I wrote for other people. Sorry! I try! I’m only one man!

  
  

  Sonnet (for Mystery Girl)

  
  

  Oh thou comely face, countenance divine,

  
  

  Sweet breath escapes from thy parted flower,

  
  

  Music bred of the most gentle power

  
  

  My heart, clay molded in a hand of thine.

  
  

  Be merciful, please oh! Angelic touch!

  
  

  Of ice be this heart, yet with fire it burns

  
  

  For thee, love, for thee causes eye to turn

  
  

  To look, oh precious glimpse for which I search!

  
  

  Star of day, sun of night, dream of my wake,

  
  

  Life of my sleep, sky below my tired feet,

  
  

  I’d sail the earth ’round, walk seas but to greet

  
  

  Thee, and pray this heart thou choose to take

  
  

  Within thine own breast so both might reside

  
  

  Ever in love, in beat, e’er side by side.
