Valentine's Day

Today is Valentine's Day.
  I hope you day is filled with love and happiness that extends through the years.
Embroidered Quilt Block

Painting by Gene Black



Confirmed, affirmed and verified

Referred, deferred or put aside

Disclosed in full, or in part

The secrets of the human heart

Cannot be analyzed or sampled

No protocol or test procedure run

Can ever under sky or sun

Explain the love in humankind

No forensic evidence you will find

Of what is in the soul or mind

So let us stay outside the box

And not place love

'neath chains and locks

Confirmed affirmed and verified?

No! In faith, love is justified.

Your talent just never ends. I'm very impressed with this painting. Of course partly because it's red but also because it quite striking. The poetry? Like I said your talent never ends. Have a very nice Valentine's day.

Such a "lovely" post, Gene. Poetry, too? I hope you had a great Valentine's Day.

Thank you so much – all the best to you too.
Today is Shrove Tuesday here, and it snowed all night, so it's off to the skis and, of course, to the sewing machine.
Your embroidered quilt block is beautiful, and even more beautiful is your magnificent picture of the love couple.
Giving love – receiving love.
A hug for you.
