For my Valentine

I feel like :

Once a piece of my valentine heart flew from my chest
Landed in front of me
and grew
Into him
he is a redwood tree
strong and fragrant
a Smooth long branch
Glistening with dew
Towering so gently
wrapping me in warmth greater than the sun
The wind blows through
Leafs loosen and memories fall
I pick them up and make a bed for us
Lovers lying on the forest floor
Nesting birds chirp in delight to see love like that
They know he will always be there
A tree made of lost love and romance reanimated
Like no other
Together
We grow into eachother
