Valentine
@ 9:20 PM
Not a red rose or a satin heart
I give you an onion
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love
Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
it will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.
i am trying to be truthful
not a cute card or kissogram.
i give you an onion
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips
possessive and faithful
as we are,
for as long as we are.
take it
its platinum loops shrink to a wedding-ring
if u like
lethal
its scent will cling to your fingers
cling to your knife
-Carol Ann Duffy
peeling an onion will never be the same again.... i dint know so many things lie in that small little thing that makes u cry.
OH YEAH! IM HAPPI TODAY!
Love is patient, love is kind, love can drive u outta your mind
