Happy Valentines
Welkin Siskin lives in Seattle, Washington. He is the poet of varied nature, who writes on various themes. Poetry for him is the healing ointment of a heart destitute of vision.
He believes that poetry is the play of words, the change of verbs into nouns; the game of words surging through the heart's inside.
His poetry is the yearning for freedom, love, life, and the expression of the Nature that adorns the Universe- the mysterious eternity of the Infinite.

Be suspicious of love not
For love is above all beauty’s hope
And be irresolute in love not
To take you to the hillock and slope.
Love is sustained by virtue of you;
Love is eternal through your view
Of making it eternal in sense,
To come across all the dense.
Play love’s game fairly equally beautifully
And play it right, and make it happen dutifully.
And whatever befalls in love and its tarnished soul,
Make love a Beauty, an Elegance, a Truth, and a Goal.
2.
Lest you may jilt me, I a Romeo turn,
Even when the worlds call us uncouth;
O, hear this vowed pleas of a voice, outside;
And turn us to a glorious face, to spread love outright.
May myriads of loves out there be found
And may there many such passionate founts
Be extant; there’s no similitude of this heart’s love
Been in accord with such hearty feelings coming from above.
3.
In faith, has to this day, love been pure,
And until these days have generations found the whispers of it a cure;
Love may for the heartless an uncertainty be,
But an opium that soothes evermore seem to many like me,
And the world, until it lights with the taper of flash orbits,
Trust with all faith, all hearts that love shall befits,
To carry through the unease, yet immortal.
To carry through the uncanny, yet eternal.
4.
Even the happier days of youth
And the springtime of those days
Fall apart, Ah! like the nights, callous and mute;
And sadly gone those days, memory alone stays.
