To Kate. (In Lieu Of A Valentine)
Sweet Love and I had oft communed;
We were, indeed, great friends,
And oft I sought his office, near
Where Courtship Alley ends.
I used to sit with him, and smoke,
And talk of your blue eyes,
And argue how I best might act
To make your heart my prize.
He always seemed to have much time
To hear me tell my joy,
So that I came to deem him but
An idle, lazy boy.
But on St. Valentine his day,
I found him hard at work,
As if he had a mighty task
And did not dare to shirk;
And o’er his head there hung a card
That made me haste away;
It bore these words—
Please make it short.
This is my busy day!
And so, Sweet maiden; if I send
No valentine, you see
The reason here; Love could not waste
His precious time on me!

Sweet Little Valentine
Oh sweet, sweet little valentine
Why sit you in despondent
Oh beautiful valentine
Life is too beautiful to cry at
And so are you my dear valentine
Oh sweet, sweet little valentine
He which you cry for
Never deserved your love
Lucky he was for having you fall for him
Stupid he was for letting you go
Oh sweet, sweet little valentine
Don't waste such tears
Oh beautiful one from Monday to Sunday
How I would wish to be in his place
I would love you oh so much
Dear sweet valentine
When you will stop the bad guys from stealing your heart
And open your eyes, to what you do not see
And is in front of you

My Sweet Valentine Acrostic
M y lady Valentine is my loved one
in my heart she marked as only one.
letting the time consumes our youth
in the end my love still holds the oath.
zest fills up the moments that we care
as sweet Valentine always there to share.
Part of my heart and soul is my Valentine
i can not thrive this life if she gets off line.
zenith where my dream for my sweet Valentine
a love we both cherish and savor for all time.
real are the laughter my loved one has shown
real as the tears I wiped dry which flood her eyes;
oh sweet Valentine how lucky I am to possessed you.
Bright are my hopes for my lady Valentine
reaching for the stars she shall be forever mine.
a promise to love her amidst all life's turmoil
to protect, care for her welfare and not spoil.
oh sweet Valentine how happy I am to love you.

Is Valentine right
Is Valentine right
~
is today a day for lovers
a time to celebrate
to show love for each other
without any fear
of what others may say
a time to shout aloud
just how you feel
make the show and dance
for all to see
is Valentine right
or is it just another day
not to be made special
or celebrated
do we love any more
or any less
on all those other days
do we need a reason
to eat together
buy flowers and kiss
say the little words
I love you
I love you too
maybe we are wrong
and Valentine is right
we should take a day off
just for those words
spend time alone together
and celebrate it
its too close to call
weigh it all up
evaluate what you can
and answer honestly
is Valentine right

Sweet Valentine.
The time has gone and your'e still everything to me
to wake up in each others arms is all I need
and I can't catch my breath untill we kiss
so hold me now sweet valentine and make a wish
When dark clouds fill the heavens and it looks like rain
your smile brings out the sunshine and their gone again
how lucky is my heart to feel like this
embrace me now sweet valentine and kiss
I sometimes find it hard to sleep beside you as you know
afraid that if I close my eyes I'll wake up on my own
What nature of enchantment makes me feel this way
your beauty and your eyes and everything you say
what warmth of loves emotion fills my mind
just you sweet valentine, sweet valentine.

Valentine’s Day is …
Valentine’s Day is for all;
Celebrate in café or mall;
Make a world of difference
With hug, kiss, kind reference!
Valentine’s Day is Lover’s;
Make the love with one you love;
Express love-filled words by cards;
Write your feelings like great bards!
Valentine’s Day is for spouse;
Make the day dreamy at house;
Cook the savory dishes,
And be the Fay, granting wishes.
Valentine is one day, so,
Mouth magic words, ‘I love you’!
Bring the joy to ones you love;
Let only bliss show’r you now.
Valentine’s Day is for joy,
For a maiden, lass or boy;
Forget cruel life on earth;
Let bliss fill hearts, give rebirth!
Valentine’s for young and old;
Let it render joys untold;
On this day, let love unfold
With memories of past years, gold!
‘Happy Valentine’s Day to all! ’

Consummate Bliss
Shall I dare tell my love what I’m thinking
In the veil’s of a valentine card
Or step from the shadows and tell her
Can verity transpire so hard
Will she laugh at my amour intended
Or melt in my arms with a kiss
Make excuses, to let me down slowly
Or leave me in consummate bliss
Will she read my card and implore me
To triumphantly sweep her away
Will this card lead her in my direction
Will this Valentine make it my day
Shall she wonder who wrote this poor sonnet
That is sent on the wings of a dove
Will her heart beat with glee when she knows it is me
And reward me with her perfect love

To Be My Valentine
If you call all the time.
Place your love on the line.
I'll hear your voice in my ear.
You'll find it's perfectly clear.
To be my Valentine..
If you send me your heart.
It will give me a start.
Send your love if you dare.
You will find that it's fair.
To be my Valentine..
If you show me your love.
I will fly like a dove.
I will show no fear.
You will find it sincere.
To be my Valentine..

Oh Valentine, Valentine
Oh Valentine, Valentine! Won't you be mine?
Words called out to my one so divine
If the feeling is mutual then let heart intertwine
Oh Valentine, Valentine! I'll never find
Oh Valentine, Valentine! I'm lost in the lust
One look and I'm trembling, afraid and nervous
With hope that an angel will help from above
Oh Valentine, Valentine! A one sided love
Oh Valentine, Valentine! Won't you be mine?
On this one day of yearning, when souls intertwine
My brittle heart breaks upon words of decline
Oh Valentine, Valentine! You'll never be mine

My Used Valentine
Will you be my valentine?
My prize to show and brag?
Will you be the girl I can use,
to show my masculinity?
Valentine oh Valentine,
What is meant to be?
Am I just a lover's tool,
To popularity?
What is a real valentine,
a girl to love and hold?
Or truly is it love abroad
A love so strong and bound
As if strewn by a rod.
Valentines can be used or new
Depending on the question
Is this valentine card really true?
Or just a piece of paper just scribbled down by you.
Thank you, my used valentine.
If You Would Be My Valentine
If you would be my valentine
My heart would surely glow
And if you'd be my valentine
I'd want the world to know
If you would be my valentine
My eyes could finally rest
For my heart already knows
That you would be the best
If you would be my valentine
I would want the world to see
That I have found the perfect valentine
The one just for me
If you would be my valentine
My world would be much brighter
So put those precious arms around me
And hold me that much tighter
If you would be my valentine
My heart might do flips
For when I think of you
It already begins its skips
If you would be my valentine
My eyes would surely shine
So won't you please tell me YES
THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MINE.

Will you be my Valentine?
Here is a poem for Valentine day..hope some of you will use it...as Valentine Day is around the corner :)
I pick up courage to tell you today,
that I love you more than I can say.
Love for me is a precious gift,
when I see you, my spirits lift.
Will you be my Valentine?
My love for you is honestly sweet,
I would never ever on you cheat.
Love for me is very precious,
making my smile infectious.
Will you be my Valentine?
Love for me is very gentle,
It's healing it is very sentimental.
Sometimes your leaving me I fear,
at home alone I shed, silent tears.
Will you be my Valentine?
The bond within is very strong,
I know from within that with you I belong.
Please reciprocate the love i have for you,
I am sure this love for you will remain ever true.
Will you truly be my Valentine?
Love works from the core of our hearts,
Our love is such that it lights up like sparks.
Love for us is like seeing northern lights,
Forever a source of delight.
It is divine, will you be my Valentine?

My Valentine
My Valentine
Your eyes are like the shining stars,
And your hair's so very fine.
Your lips are sweet as Honeycomb,
You are my Valentine.
You're thoughtful in so many ways,
Your face is sunshine
You're a 'Precious Angel' to me,
You are my Valentine.
My love for you grows every day,
I'm so glad you're mine.
I thank God in Heaven each day,
That You are my Valentine

Ode to Being Five (Children)
I made a paper Valentine
all red and edged with lace.
And on my paper Valentine,
I drew a pretty face.
I painted on two big blue eyes
and then a great big grin
and knew it wouldn't be complete
without a dimpled chin.
I love you, paper valentine,
and just between us two,
I hope someday when I grow up
I'll look as sweet as you.
Two Valentines
I.-TO MISTRESS BARBARA
There were three cavaliers, all handsome and true,
On Valentine's day came a maiden to woo,
And quoth to your mother: 'Good-morrow, my dear,
We came with some songs for your daughter to hear!'
Your mother replied: 'I'll be pleased to convey
To my daughter what things you may sing or may say!'
Then the first cavalier sung: 'My pretty red rose,
I'll love you and court you some day, I suppose!'
And the next cavalier sung, with make-believe tears:
'I've loved you! I've loved you these many long years!'
But the third cavalier (with the brown, bushy head
And the pretty blue jacket and necktie of red)
He drew himself up with a resolute air,
And he warbled: 'O maiden, surpassingly fair!
I've loved you long years, and I love you to-day,
And, if you will let me, I'll love you for aye!'
I (the third cavalier) sang this ditty to you,
In my necktie of red and my jacket of blue;
I'm sure you'll prefer the song that was mine
And smile your approval on your valentine.
II.-TO A BABY BOY
Who I am I shall not say,
But I send you this bouquet
With this query, baby mine:
'Will you be my valentine?'
See these roses blushing blue,
Very like your eyes of hue;
While these violets are the red
Of your cheeks. It can be said
Ne'er before was babe like you.
And I think it is quite true
No one e'er before to-day
Sent so wondrous a bouquet
As these posies aforesaid-
Roses blue and violets red!
Sweet, repay me sweets for sweets-
'Tis your lover who entreats!
Smile upon me, baby mine-
Be my little valentine!

My valentine you are today
My valentine you are today
This fact I can't deny
A valentine I've never had
I sit and ponder why
I thank you from my heart so true
That I will be the one
To make you happy all day long
Until my time is done
I'll hurt you not and never lie
I'll make you proud to be
A woman who is worth her love
I'm glad that it is me
So valentine I love so much
I hope your days been great
Remember you are in my thoughts
For you I'll always wait

My Funny Valentine
(RodgersHart)
you're my funny valentine,
Sweet comic valentine,
You make me smile with my heart
You're looks are laughable, unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek,
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak are you smart
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's Day
