Farewell
By Mona Currie 

Say, can we know
That we’re to be put out
Of long established house and home and hearth,
Uprooted like a tree and thrown into
A stream of life as so much flotsam is?

If fate decrees
Then with some poise and pride
We should elect the when and how and where
Of place and time and method used to leave,
Thus not become an object to deride.

Model: Lauren DiMarco

If I have to be both the yin and yang of our relationship, I might as well be on my own.
from my journal 

You ask too much of me.

beautiful, Herbert Trench, Photography, Poetry, Postaweek 2012, Roses, Valentine's Day

© Joan Currie - My Valentine Roses

She comes not when Noon is on the roses —
Too bright is Day.
She comes not to the Soul till it reposes
From work and play.

But when Night is on the hills, and the great Voices
Roll in from Sea,
By starlight and by candlelight and dreamlight
She comes to me.
by Herbert Trench 

The sweet fragrance of last night lingers…

Come, let’s be a comfortable couple and take care of each other!
How glad we shall be, that we have somebody we are fond of always,
to talk to and sit with.
Let’s be a comfortable couple.
by Charles Dickens

Nothing is better than snuggling up with a loved one on this day!

beautiful, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Photography, Poetry, Postaweek 2012, Sunset

© Joan Currie - The South San Francisco Bay

Plum-purple was the west; but spikes of light
Spear’d open lustrous gashes, crimson-white;
(Where the eye fix’d, fled the encrimsoning spot,
And, gathering, floated where the gaze was not;)
And through their parting lids there came and went
Keen glimpses of the inner firmament:
by Gerard Manley Hopkins

I basked in the glorious but fleeting sunset.

beautiful, I Knew A Woman, Lauren DiMarco, Poetry, Postaweek 2012, Theodore Roethke

© Ryan Chua

I knew a woman, lovely in her bones,
When small birds sighed, she would sigh back at them;
Ah, when she moved, she moved more ways than one:
The shapes a bright container can contain!
from I Knew a Woman by Theodore Roethke 

Thinking back to my best Valentine’s Day celebrations…
