My Secret Valentine

by Faithless   Feb 14, 2009


Witnessing the sea of a million crystals
Diamond canvas in the sky that sparkles
Winds playing symphony for the singing angels

Ocean breeze gently brushed her face
As she looked onto the wide open space
Looking for a sign of her lover's trace

Midnight beach decorated with rose petals
A runway illuminated with ivory candles
Paving a trail that leads to a castle

Curiosity leads her to walk down the aisle
Heart filled with anticipation for a lovely smile
Hoping the steps that she took will be worthwhile

A box wrapped gift sits gently in the middle
Tempted to unravel it like the forbidden apple
Craving to find the answer to a mystical riddle

Unveiling the gift only to find it's empty
Disappointment aches the heart, crying softly
Her soul longs to be in a state of tranquility

Suddenly descended from the heavenly cloud divine
A Prince landed his magic carpet onto the shoreline
Saying "My heart is my gift to you, my secret valentine "

    "Witnessing the sea of a million crystals

    ^^What a truly beautiful opening..the imagery within these lines is incredible, so detailed and vivid that I can't help but be pulled into the piece and can't wait to continue on.

    "The ocean breeze gently brushed her face
    As she looked onto the wide open space
    Looking for a sign of her lover's trace"

    ^^I don't think you need "the" in the first line, it works just as well, if not better, without.

    "Midnight beach decorated with rose petals
    A runway illuminated with ivory candles
    Paving a trail that leads to a castle"

    ^^Favourite part so far, the imagery in these three lines is incredible, it's almost like I can -see- everything that you're describing.

    "Curiosity leads her to walk down the aisle
    Heart filled with anticipation for a lovely smile
    Hoping the steps that she took will be worthwhile

    A box wrapped gift sits gently in the middle
    Tempted to unravel it like the forbidden apple
    Craving to find the answer to a mystical riddle"

    ^^I really enjoyed these stanzas, as the reader I'm wondering what's in the box, and can't wait to find out, I found it added a touch of mystery to the poem and left me intriqued.

    "Unveiling the gift only to find it's empty
    Disappointment aches the heart, crying softly
    Her soul longs to be in a state of tranquility"

    ^^Ooohh this is so sad, I didn't expect this to happen and it leaves me feeling somewhat sad, and wishing that the box wasn't empty.

    "Suddenly descended from the heavenly cloud divine
    A Prince landed his magic carpet onto the shoreline
    Saying "My heart is my gift to you, my secret valentine "

    ^^What a beautiful, beautiful closing!! To go from mystery to melancholy to such happiness within the last three stanzas sure was a twist and definietly jerks the reader's emotions about, which made for a powerful affect on the overall piece.

    I love this.
