Cottony clouds sailing the azure sky
Wait, here’s my request before you fly by
Whip bits of you around a honeyed stick
Shimmering white cotton candy for a gift
You’re too far away beyond my reach
Hear me before the sun beams shift

No, no, not for me but for one I love
Fancying the gluey cotton candy whirl
He’ll nuzzle his nose against your fluff
Flush his cheeks with the mist of your swirl
Savor its faint nectar and cooing like a dove
Sniff its whiff, convinced it’s no bluff
My love isn’t here, but in the realm above
Meet him at the crux of rainbow’s bend
Where purple and orange kiss at horizon’s end
Snow white cotton candy with sparkle and shine
Leave it on the cusp of his outstretched hand
While chiming sweet dearie, it’s Valentine
In heavenly realm he’ll relish with delight
Soft cotton candy textured in feathery shroud
God made gladly in the frivolity of His might
Saints and angels sing praises to the Divine
Jubilantly refraining with music so loud
Celebrate love and joy old boy, it’s Valentine
