An Ode To The Singles

To celebrate Saint Valentine’s Day

There seems to be but one way.

Anywhere and everywhere you look

In video game, film, music or book

A romantic dinner, a moonlit walk,

A thoughtful gift, an intimate talk,

Are enjoyed by cozy couple

Or in some cases, triad throuple.

Or in rare cases, the plentiful poly

More than two lovers, oh golly!

But here it’s not those I address

But truth it’s not to them I attest.

For all who remain single

For all not ready to mingle

For whatever reason or cause

Your love life is on pause,

Never forget, always remember

To place yourself at love’s center.

To honor yourself as love’s shrine.

To treat yourself with love’s shine.

You are two halves on your own

You are complete and not alone.

So go celebrate the ultimate lover

And a wonderful person you’ll uncover.
