Note: As a lead in to Valentine's Day I will be posting some ways that convey I love you that do not rely on purchasing gifts and am inviting you to do the same where you blog. If you make a post could you link it to this post? At the end of two weeks I am curious as to what interconnected posts about love we might make collectively.

| Wild Nights! Wild Nights! (M.A. Reilly, 2009) |
- Emily Dickinson
Wild nights! Wild nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!
Futile the winds
To a heart in port,
Done with the compass,
Done with the chart.
Rowing in Eden!
Ah! the sea!
Might I but moor
To-night in thee!
