a poem from Poe on V-Day

I don't like Valentine's Day.
Never have, probably never will.

But I do adore a good love poem, that is....
only if it was written by Poe.

To F----S S. O----D
Edgar Allan Poe (1835)
Thou wouldst be loved?--then let thy heart
From its present pathway part not!
Being everything which now thou art,
Be nothing which thou art not.
So with the world thy gentle ways,
Thy grace, thy more than beauty,
Shall be an endless theme of praise
And love--a simple duty.

Bravo, Poe.

**ahh, to be the one whom this was written for ~ a girl can dream can't she? maybe one day someone will write something like this for me....maybe**
I am currently Disillusioned
I am listening to my doggies barking.
