Valentino...Valentine,
Ah but do you know the story?
Listen for the chime...
It was by a well that He first saw her,
leaning down to wash her hair...
such wondrous locks of gold and red,
a setting fire on her shoulder blade...
He was besmitten,
wanting to know...
her name - and why,
she was so alone...
but He was a god among men,
rather ludicrous in ways...
and so He set out,
to whoo her heart away...
On the first day of His hearts' unwinding,
He sent her forty-two thousand partriges and doves...
hoping that she would see that their love could have wings,
All she did was release the birds to the sky...
saying not a word but appearing to cry,
distressed that He had caused her grief...
He sent to her the heart of the moon and its' key,
Hoping that she would always be lit by light...
Fear instead washed over her face,
and on a lonely night...
His hearts' true gave the moons' heart back to the sky: and the key,
In growing frustration He went to look...
in the book of Incants and Ancestory took,
He read the words...
of an age-old spell,
not once uttered in twenty thousand years well...
'To create a love where none seemed to be,
to turn back the seas and wish for thee...
let thy heart always be mine,
I the cupid...
do commit the hallowed crime,
in return for my heart and the soul within mine...
for all of Time.'
Yet to His horror...
the next day that came,
his lady of the well was nowhere to be seen...
not a brief flash of her marvelous hair,
or a glint of her cool blue eyes...
from underneath their,
Instead a stone statue...
sat in her place,
and when He ventured out -
seeking comfort from others -
they could not see his face...
And so the story goes that he was forced to bear love,
the desire that denied Valentino his one true love...
and give instead to the world,
a many layered love...
Cursed He is to roam,
to see hearts entwined mysteriously...
and know that he is the cause,
but not once again could it ever be he.
So you see dear friends, I think that there are three facts to consider here.
The first, is that it is 1.30 in the morning and I can not sleep, the second fact is that I worked a crazy day today, and so unfortunately could only post this Blog now... :] slightly after Valentines day itself hehe.
The third fact is that I think stories need a bit of tragedy and yes, even a bit of melodrama and pain. But the good, always the good. I guess, there isn't so much a happy ending to my little story, and I'll leave it to you to decide on it...it's just that I always thought that...wow, it would kinda suck to be cupid and see everyone falling in love but you...that perhaps he can't, or isn't allowed.
Woo-woh.
A million bowls of spaghetti, moon-lit nights, names traced in trees and running in the rain together...
Happy Valentines day...for all you beautiful late-to-arrive and wandering dreamers out there,
Much Love,
Miss CLScarlett xx
PS. If you don't have a Valentines tonight...I shall be yours. Sending you hugs and wishes across the stars...
