For Valentines Day
- February 13, 2024
The ancient Greeks understood many loves
Their seeing glass surpassed a heart shaped box.
How Eros must laugh at cliched white doves;
Romantic kisses underneath the copse.
His older brother Pragma, hands on hips
Done with falling, does what it takes to stand.
Philantia and her twin Narcissus,
Skip about happy, their own biggest fans.
Agape the Sage, considers others,
Regarding not the reward he gives much.
Storge sits in familiar colours
Quietly enjoying soft slippers touch.
But she who wears the crown is Philia,
Friendship most revered in Olympia.
For think, where would Frodo be without Sam?
Or, what would David have done without Jonathan?
