Why? O Val
That your virtuous immortal celebration
Should be viciously celebrated by mortals?
That this day, revered for kindness, love and joy
Should be tainted with infidelity, deceit and sadness?
Why? O Valentine
Should men become philanderers overnight?
And infidel spouses?
Engage in unlawful rendezvous with concubines
In the pretext of “being rooted in the line of duty”
All in your name?
Why? O Valentine
Should lovers seize this day
To seek new love
To quench their lustful desires
With new found loves?
Leaving old loves “history”
All in your name?
Why? O Valentine
Should daughters of Eve use this day
To covet all bounties that can be acquired?
By tagging LOVE “for sale”
All in your name?
This day O Valentine
That should be filled with happiness,
Kindness unto strangers,
Joy unto the needy,
Budding love strengthened amore by lovers,
Vowed love toned up by spouses,
Doted love reassured by parents to children.
Yet the reverse seems to be.
All loose on morals,
Uncaring of the consequences.
“I love you” fills the air this day,
“It’s over, ” claims the morrow.
A love savoured in lust today,
Has broken a waiting heart somewhere.
O Valentine
Did you live your tenure this way on earth?
Surely your legend portrays not
These immorals that I see.
Adultery, Infidelity, Incest
Has usurped your reign.
A lover has grown a false tongue
And betrayed a faithful love.
A spouse, an infidel,
And broken a thriving home.
This day of humanity, love
Genuine love o Valentine,
Now polluted with these
To kill thine honour.
“Love is in the air” is always the slogan.
Yet if men were gods,
To see the vices,
That lay beneath this virtue.
Why? O Valentine
Should your feast
Spring forth melancholy
This day of merriment?
Why? O 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.
My valentine rhymes
Here comes valentine a month of love
Celebrated by the people in love
Together they shared the sweetest love
And both oath not to fall out of love
Valentine gives us knowledge of love meaning
Teach us reasons how to be understanding
Shows us more rationales to be extra caring
And remind us to prepare for suffering
Valentine is not meant to lovers alone
It was for all of us predominantly start at home
Each of us shares feeling that has grown
That all and sundry was very gratified to own
Let me tell you how lucky I am
For this valentine I found my dream man
In a park we walk hand in hand
And the meaning of my love life begun

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! ’

O My Valentine
In the heart of mine
You dwell as Divine
O my valentine!
O my valentine!
Like a drunkard's wine
Like a patient's pine
You remain with me always
O my valentine.
Nothing in this world is mine
But you, o my valentine
From whom seperation would be my death
Or, else, at least the broken path;
On which I cannot go back or ahead
With a heart full of your love's pangs
For your memory will eat my head
And my body will feel my inner soul's bangs.
Where the true lovers ultimately meet
The very place after my death I'll seek
In case I lost my love in this world
Which never lets the lover's desires fulfilled.
You, the soul of my soul
Are not less than my goal
Which I'm toiling to win
By fair means or sin.
With you only would be my life better
With some other not more than a fetter
Where one is kept against his will
Where one is forced to swallow the pill.
Yet, I believe in the Divine
Let me not interfere the ways of Him
For, He'll set everything right
O my valentine, o my valentine.

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

Valentine’s Day (2002)
Do you know who is Valentine?
He is the patron saint of love
It is love that should ever shine
With peace symbolized by a dove
Valentine’s Day is every year
Every fourteenth of February
It’s for our parents and friends dear
And for lovers too certainly
But remember that everyday is Valentine’s Day

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.

A Valentine's Day Message
May the Valentine's Day spirit fill your heart
With love and joy on this special day.
A time to exchange messages - a spirit of love,
Sentimental verses sent in a poetic way.
Valentine's Day has long been a day of romance,
A sparkle of love glowing in the heart,
A tribute to your love one so precious and dear,
Where the tradition of Saint Valentine plays a part.
May Valentine's Day be extra special to you
With the beauty of red roses to proudly show,
And the symbol of a heart and cupid with arrow and bow
That will enlighten your heart with a festive glow.
May you have joy and satisfaction unending
Bestowing to love one jewelry, candy or flowers
To prove your sincere affection on Valentine's Day
With memorable, happy and unforgettable hours.
May those you love surround you
To share and cherish this Valentine's Day,
May the spirit of Saint Valentine, the patron saint,
Come into your life and forever stay.

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.

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

Bright are my hopes for my lady Valentine

a promise to love her amidst all life's turmoil
to protect, care for her welfare and not spoil.
