The Seven Stages of Valentine

Its first appearance is in the human body
When you reverently become aware of its
Delicate construction and sound beauty
Infusing you with a certain energy
As if someone just handed you your life
As if you could be trusted
To balance two hearts at the same time
And not looking down cross the abyss
That separates the you and the me
Our panoramic history painted in sand
So persistent it becomes in the end
You can sometimes find its form
Thrown up on sunlit beaches
In the memory of a stone
