Yes, it's true that a) I don't celebrate Valentine's Day and b) don't think of myself as a romantic poet. Still, here's a snapshot of love. Share it with someone you love.
-FDO
Floating through a crowded wedding reception
We never discover the dance is a game
Focused on age or longevity
Not questioning but celebrating it,
Giving it a privileged place
Other couples fade from view
Just when they’re supposed to
While we keep dancing
Oblivious to the predetermined competition
That’s captured everyone else’s attention
The music’s still playing
Which proves to be enough for us
To continue holding each other close
While we keep on dancing
