(Feb 2012  --  Well,  you can forget Valentine's Day, for I'm just waiting for the marked down CHOCOLATES on February 15^th. dht)

There is no VOWEL that shares the Heart  --   

as my dear one's unspoken troth.

There is no FLOWER that shares the Heart --   

as an embrace in my loved one's arms.

There is no CARD that shares the Heart    --   

as the sparkle of your smile.

There is no VERSE that shares the Heart  --   

as the rhymes of your love.

There is no TREASURE that shares the Heart --

as the softness of your kiss on my cheek.

There is no CANDY that shares the Heart -- 

as the sweetness of your touch.

 There is no GIFT that shares the Heart --   

as your unconditional devotion.

There is no MELODY that shares the Heart --   

as the sound of your voice to my ear.

There is no WEALTH that shares the Heart   --

as your breath of Life.

There is no SECRET that shares the Heart –

as it is always constant and true.

BUT, a box of chocolates would be nice  -- 

and can be our LOVE's unspoken secret.
