A Valentine (To my phantom prince)

Melita Catalina Warren 1949 (Kansas)

Romance never arrives too late -
Shall we admit you are ‘truly great’?

Your words and sweet smile captivate,
Because exciting travels you relate.

Let us ignore writing on our slate,
For Eros ensues, true romance awaits.

Wondrous poetic works we contemplate.
Soon we create our happy fate.

A catchy melody our words punctuate -
You become the desert on my plate.

Instinct, an admirable trait,
Make us so like amazing primates.

Why not kiss by the Garden Gate,
Red Hot Amour to cultivate?
