a love poem for valentines day

:: writing prompt # 151 ::
Weave a poem that contains all these lines (in no particular order): "I tie the ribbon in a foolish way," "the delicious fragility of this travesty," and "where we still laugh and wish."


Rabbit ears and loop-de-loop
red satin slick
I tie the ribbon in a foolish way
but it doesn't matter if it looks good
feels right
pleases
you.

Tied to my sleeve like a charm
I wear it for all to see and
some are afraid
for me
but not me
the delicious fragility of this travesty
is that I am not afraid
for me of you.

Wearing my heart like a parka
a blazer
cardio-cardigan
and I'm no longer cold.
Where we still laugh and wish
is warm here
with you.
