My Valentine

You are the warmth in winter sloth

melody of tulips when spring froths                                             

cool comfort in summer scorch

sound of silence as autumn falls.


You lighten me up as I dismay

your elfin smile charms my sleazy day

I see your face and my fear fades away

you are my love in every adoring way.


Sometime, life tastes musty, sadly!

we squander moments in shades

I even stumble to thank you

and forget to wish you well.


Today I desert the world and the rest

take a pause, hand you a rose, scarlet red

kiss your lips in an adolescent way

feel you deep like a tree that roots in its soil

whisper in your ears and softly say

you are my love, my Valentine!

today, and every single day.
