Don’t leave me, even for an hour, because
then the little drops of anguish will all run together,
the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift
into me, choking my lost heart.
-Pablo Neruda
Being a hopeless romantic you know I just had to post a little something on Valentine’s Day. Read the rest of the poem by clicking here. Enjoy your day.

I love chocolate, but it doesn’t have much consideration for my waistline, so I am under enforced abstination right now – which is not so good at Valentines!

Hope yours was nice as well.

I worked a full day in the shop on Saturday and Sunday hubbie worked, but we were out together, which was okay. Ended up by walking 4 miles, in lovely surroundings, but freezing cold, then stopped off for pizza before heading home.
We are both a bit too ‘long in the tooth’ (OLD) for all the lovey dovey stuff 🙂
Have a great week.

What a beautiful poem. I hope you had a wonderful day! We didn’t do anything special at our house, but then we’ve never been big on celebrating Valentine’s Day. My daughter did receive several books from family members in honor of the day though. 🙂

Thanks Literary. I had a very nice day because I got to go to the Marc Anthony concert, he happened to be performing in my area on Valentine’s Day.
Yea, we don’t usually do too much, hubs gets me my fav Godiva chocolates as usual and I get my kids a little something.
It sounds like you had a nice day as well 🙂 Enjoy your week!

Neruda is a master of expressing lovesickness (and passionate love more generally). Gorgeous. And I like the photo too.
