Valentine's Day - Jonathan Cumberbatch

Almost every poem here was once at over a page-length but has been pared down on every pass to speak to its individual essence only.

‘Valentine’s Day’ is a personal musing on variable aspects of ‘love’ as experienced and observed. I believe the subject is worth exploring as it appears (to me) that love is in constant manifestation around each of us subtly encouraging our participation.

There remains much in my life to be grateful for and likewise much in this infinite emotion to contemplate – this despite, life’s parade of challenges.

After reading, I’m asking all readers to still themselves and recount their own experiences and the role of love in and around their lives.
