Remembered Valentine

I went out walking in my head
Among the waves of words
Written on the stony graves
All my dead thoughts
Turning in their tidy plots
Who fought in heaven's wars
And fell to earth like rain
In search of that single name
Hidden among roses I remember
Planting in another life
Finding only an empty tomb
Still warm from the sun
That filled it with a body's heat
A heart just entering a womb
