Gentle Persuasion for a Special Occasion

 
Writing a poem
Of gentle persuasion
Valentine’s Day
This special occasion

Lost some
And held some
Still some
That are near

Not forgetting
The past
And thoughts
From past years

Though be gone
Be not lost
Nor mingled
With tears

Where the
Warmth of my heart
Once quelled
Your fears

Where once
I held powerful
The one
You held dear

Passage of time
Erasing
Who was?
Forsaken

Twas you?
Or I?
As unity
Was breaking

Just hope
In your heart
A mere
Sensation

Per Chance
Just a smile
From this
Gentle persuasion

Be a
Valentine
Again
For a special occasion
