True love is a house
where every room blooms
with carnations and roses,
and the table is set for two
with flickering candlelight
that welcomes us home.
True love is a sunny Saturday
in a crowded store gone pink
with every aisle full
of Valentine’s Day
cards, ruffled boxes
of chocolate truffles
and and everyone's dreams.
True love is an elementary school
class party with sprinkled cupcakes
and boxes of poetic candy hearts
that promise every girl
has a secret admirer
and every single boy
is loved forever.
