As, I lay upon these fluffed red petals, I dream upon our place,<br /> No worries are layed just played in our heads.<br /> <br /> It's Valentine's Day, love, I'm sure you'll get a feeling.<br /> <br /> That tingle in our hearts, let's just mingle and hug no tugs for a kiss on you're head...<br /> <br /> Is as mellow as a played cello.<br /> <br /> Love, it's Valentine's Day.

<br><br /> "Transcend"<br /> <br /><i> A cool hand of wind lay upon our cheeks,<br /> Tinting them as soft as rose petals,<br /> As we tug ourselves closer under Milky Way lights,<br /> It is calm as silence settles.<br /> <br /> No words muttered, <br /> Our lips remain bowed,<br /> We take up root on battered rocks,<br /> As it begins to snow.<br /> <br /> A small kiss heats between,<br /> We take our fingers and intertwine,<br /> Sound is not needed to say,<br /> Every day you're my Valentine.<br /> <br /> *Based on <a href=http://www.alacritysim.com/dog.php?id=73069>[this]</a> scene.</i>

My love in my heart <br /> I cannot forget <br /> for my valintine <br /> My love he gets<br /> I know that you care<br /> But you didnt share <br /> the love that I used to know <br /> You broke my heart <br /> so cruely<br /> For trying to forget somone you love<br /> is like trying to remember somone you never met

"Mave"<br /> <br /> Valentine,<br /> Sweet Valentine,<br /> Will you pledge<br /> Your heart to mine?<br /> <br /> Two as one,<br /> We shall live,<br /> Forever and always,<br /> My Alacrity bride.<br /> <br /> On the first day,<br /> Of our lives anew,<br /> You asked if I <br /> Wanted a dinner<br /> For two.<br /> <br /> Going out then,<br /> I found out greet news.<br /> The blessings upon us,<br /> The tidings brand new.<br /> <br /> For on that season,<br /> We were to have<br /> A quaint litter <br /> Just for me and my Mave.<br /> <br /> The sad thing was,<br /> Things were not to last,<br /> A storm began,<br /> And lightning lashed.<br /> <br /> Few survived,<br /> And if you did,<br /> You often wished naught,<br /> For whatever you has loved,<br /> Could no longer be sought.

<b>St Valentine<br /> <br /> Valentine, a priest of old,<br /> Performed marriages in the night.<br /> <br /> No marriages he was told,<br /> Ceasar wanted an Army of might.<br /> <br /> In a cell dark & cold,<br /> Standing for the right.<br /> <br /> He chose to be so bold,<br /> with his pen he writes.<br /> <br /> To dear friends he told,<br /> "Do not forget your Valentine". <br /><p>

The Valentine`s gift<br /> <br /> It is Valentine`s Day.<br /> That is why I need a way<br /> To express my love to you.<br /> <br /> In the morning I wrote you a beautiful card<br /> But my dogs didn't like the red heart<br /> They bit my written feelings in two.<br /> <br /> At noontide I collected some flowers.<br /> After it took me endless hours<br /> A white stag came by and ate them.<br /> All that was left was some green stems.<br /> <br /> So in the evening hours, <br /> Under the high birch tree,<br /> In a bed of red tulip flowers,<br /> What I give you, is me.<br /> <br /> -----------------------------------------<br /> <br /> It really hard to write something in another language. XD Hope someone likes it anyway.^^°

Never written love song or had real love...so here it goes!<br /> <br /> "What is love?"<br /> <br /> Love is the pair of earrings<br /> laying in the corner.<br /> <br /> Love is when you touch my hair.<br /> <br /> Love is the blue bird<br /> singing a sad song.<br /> <br /> Love is what broke me.<br /> Love is what broke <br /> my heart. <br /> Love is what I feel <br /> for you.<br /> <br /> ___________________<br /> <br /> "Not Just From a Human"<br /> <br /> I squeeze your neck.<br /> Hard.<br /> You don't complain.<br /> <br /> You lick my tears away.<br /> When I cry.<br /> <br /> You do that funny face.<br /> To make me laugh.<br /> <br /> You snuggle in bed.<br /> When I'm lonely.<br /> <br /> And you love me.<br /> When I feel un-loved.<br /> <br /> ___________________<br /> <br /> "Love Life"<br /> <br /> Life is shaped like a heart. <br /> <br /> It curves and dips down.<br /> You can get stuck <br /> At that tip.<br /> But you climb up.<br /> <br /> Life is one moment.<br /> Life isn't like anything.<br /> Life is love.

Alacrity Valentine<br /> Everyone loves Ala on Valentine’s Day, The people are chatting, and the dogs get to play!<br /><br /> All the pink dogs are having some puppies, And all the owners are getting called luckies.<br /><br /> People are buying a lot of stuff for backgrounds, And no one is fighting, no one around.<br /> <br /><br /> <br /> Cupid is flying and giving out toys, For all of the dogs and the girls and the boys.<br /><br /> Cupid is also giving out game points, Hopefully Cupid does not get disappoints.<br /> <br /><br /> <br /> People are making customs like crazy, No one is acting like they are lazy.<br /> <br /> Some people ask if anyone knows, A pink on a dog that comes and goes.<br /> <br /> Most people like to make the dog breed Cata Cur, They do not meow, they bark, not purr.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> All the heat cookies are getting used up, Everyone wants to get a pink pup.<br /> <br /> People want to make breeding customs, Everyone knows there dog is handsome.<br /> <br /> They are looking for a maxed dog in heat, The owners hope the pups will be neat.<br /><br /> I run to the auctions to look for a dog, Not for a tennis ball or for a dead frog.<br /> <br /> Quickly, I found out about one on auction, I start to bid and I make a concoction.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Later, Valentine’s day is over, There are no heat cookies leftover.<br /><br /> Everyone is now going to bed, Dreamin’ ‘bout Ala, not Uncle Ned.<br /><br /> On the next day, Ala’s back to play. Talking about Easter coming our way.<br /> <br />

“Love Conquers All Obstacles”<br /> <br /> My heart (jumps) quickly when I spy<br /> a captivating (dog walk) by.<br /> Oh, Cupid, did you (chute) that arrow?<br /> This (tunnel) vision is so narrow.<br /> I (teeter totter) to my feet<br /> and, bounding (tire)less and fleet,<br /> I find (a-frame) of mind called love.<br /> But (pause! Table), rose— are these enough?<br /> I’d (weave pole) to pole, and cross the sea<br /> to spend Valentine’s Day on (Alacrity).

Confused<br /> <br /> I look at him, I smile<br /> He never glances back<br /> He never would<br /> <br /> I knew it all along; It’s true<br /> That I live in my own little world<br /> A strange lovely world<br /> <br /> I smell red velvet cupcakes<br /> Just freshly baked<br /> A sweet and bitter scent<br /> I open my eyes<br /> And nothing’s there<br /> <br /> I feel a beach<br /> The palm fronds on my skin<br /> The grainy sand in my toes<br /> I listen closely<br /> And nothing’s there<br /> <br /> I hear a splinter<br /> The crisp breaking of wood<br /> A sharp cry of pain<br /> I lick my lips<br /> And nothing’s there<br /> <br /> I see burning wood<br /> A flickering fire<br /> Dancing like a fox<br /> I put my hand close to the flame<br /> And nothing’s there<br /> <br /> I hear sweet humming<br /> A bright tune<br /> And a mournful lullaby<br /> I sniff the air<br /> And nothing’s there<br /> <br />

"Inadequate"<br /> <br /> Burning sun flickers,<br /> goes dark:<br /> burnt out.<br /> <br /> Full moon dims,<br /> eclipsed<br /> by pain.<br /> <br /> Bleached bones lay<br /> scattered,<br /> marring the chilly path.<br /> <br /> Dove wings crack,<br /> fractured,<br /> heart bleeding for want of love.

"Cupid's Playtime"<br /> <br /> Heat cookie is crumbled on the floor,<br /> dejected and forgotten.<br /> Heart balloon is deflated,<br /> tangled around my feet.<br /> <br /> Heart skewered on a stick,<br /> slowly roasting over a camp fire.<br /> Sam, Lola and Brenda tied to a gnarled tree,<br /> watching their fate.<br /> <br /> Cherub wings fluttered against my back,<br /> tickling distractions.<br /> I am your Cupid,<br /> harbinger of broken hearts.<br /> <br /> Embrace the devastation.<br /> Embrace Valentine's Day

"Heart"<br /> <br /> There is a reason hearts aren't straight<br /> Some hearts are crooked with greed<br /> Some hearts are flat with longing<br /> Some hearts are twisted with pain<br /> But some hearts are wide,<br /> Full of love for you and me<br /> <br /> There is a reason hearts aren't straight<br /> They curve like a rollercoaster<br /> Sending you on the ride of your life<br /> Sometimes you get stuck at the bottom<br /> With no way up<br /> And sometimes you get stuck on the way down<br /> But if hearts weren't curved<br /> And love was strightforward<br /> It would be too easy to fall in and out of love<br /> Again and Again<br /> <br /> Sorry it doesn't really have to do with ala. I don't do ballads or epics (I is a poetry nerd) :B

A Day To Remember-<br /> <br /> I was wandering through the fields, <br /> A day or two ago. <br /> Hoping to find something to yeild, <br /> My hopeless sorrow.<br /> <br /> I looked to my right, <br /> And to my distain,<br /> Found a beautiful and bright,<br /> Female Crane.<br /> Underfoot she carried a small little pup,<br /> No more than a youngin'<br /> Barley a month old, <br /> And instantly my heart was melded,<br /> No more sorrow.<br /> <br /> A day to remember, that's what this was,<br /> Since this day was the day,<br /> I met my first love.<br /> <br /> Heh, so lameeee! Oh well though, I actually like it XD These are all so much fun to read!
