I’m so vain. I probly think this poem ‘s about me

Good afternoon from Sochi (as in so… she actually is still speaking to you?)
Here is another entry into our contest —A Dozen Roses from a Single Thorn: A Valentine’s Day Love Story– from a woman of ravishing beauty who prefers to remain anonymous. So I can safely claim that the poem was written for me, and she would have to reveal herself in order to deny it.
You still have time before the chocolate melts and the petals wilt to enter the contest yourself:

But it was only a rumor
by Echo
Rumor has it, when I kiss you
I can taste the breath of you
Like the wind in a kindly dream
Of all the ways that I have known you
From the wide eyes of a young girl
To being held in your loving arms so true
As a woman, now as your wife
A deeper knowing does unfurl
With you, my love, I share my life
Our book is still a mystery
How in this love we came to be
I sing your praise, as we step into the light
Shedding what did not fit
Together creating a real home
All to my hearts sheer delight!
Now when I see you, your eyes do smile
Climbing the peak, I can see only blue skies
The journey of this heart is worth the while
The true blue love of you
Radiant in your eyes
Yes, we have weathered some stormy times
Where I felt my heart disappear
Now the sun shines bright
“We” feels so right, and the “Why” of us much more clear
Thank you my darling for being so brave
The emotional risks indeed
Show me how much there is to save
Staying safe in your heart is all I need
Be my Valentine forever

Sweet, rhymes, sublime, love of mild swings in time. Here is a valentine poem which is clear, clean, but not my cup of romantic tea. Even though I write this there is a clear effort and crafting which is more turn of the 20th century than any other era.
It seems refreshing to me…and quite appropriate for our Thorns and Roses contest. Lovely addition.
What a sweet romantic poem… A tribute to marital commitment which grows stronger over time. Beautiful expression!
