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!

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.

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…

In the warm, lofted air,
Soft lips together pressed,
Soft wispy hair,
She stops to rest,

Helen, thy beauty is to me
Like those Nicean barks of yore,
That gently, o’er a perfumed sea,
The weary, way-worn wanderer bore
To his own native shore.
To Helen by Edgar Allan Poe
I wish I could savor the first blush of young love over and over again.

Fraenkel loved my home, the idea of a house, a home as a pivot, a base, a hub. Henry, the vagabond, was amazed at Fraenkel’s assertion that this was necessary to creation, that rolling and drifting prevented growth, that this was the way to grow and expand. – from the Diary of Anaïs Nin
The muse visits me when I am curled up reading in my favorite wingback chair.

If you only knew how much I love you, how essential you are to my life, you would not dare to stay away for an instant, you would always remain by my side, your heart pressed close to my heart, your soul to my soul.
Juliette Drouet
I cannot bear another day without you.

The rain of a night and a day and a night
Stops at the light
Of this pale choked day. The peering sun
Sees what has been done.
from After Rain by Edward Thomas
This is a day for blissful solitude.

The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.
Emil Ludwig
What else does she have to surrender to love fully?

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
from Dreams by Langston Hughes
Keep true to your dreams – dreaming the dream can be just as important (and delicious) as realizing the dream.
