From the Heart

A sudden burst of mental sunshine on a gloomy sunless day…
That rush of fuzzy warmth when the voice you are waiting for, calls…
When someone mentions the name, you are too shy to say…
Your heart beats so loud you are afraid you might faint…
That feeling, hard to describe, is here to stay…
Eternal, as the earth’s splendour, is this Song of Love.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I had drawn this picture long time ago for my husband when we weren't married. He had kept all my drawings I used to send him as greeting cards for Christmas and Birthdays. Writing takes up all of my time now so I have stopped drawing. Fortunately, I can dip into this repository when I want to complement one of my poems with a drawing. To me drawing and poetry are interwoven, each breathing its own life into the other.
