Cupid Commemorations

Love, more than a once a year compliment
Remembered with other ember members at Valentine
When red reigns supreme to cement 

Signals in Sentiment City all’s fine
Although a lover’s lilt longs for more
Than a red reference to dine and wine

Served with flourish in keeping with folklore
Kept alive over the centuries in a bid
To meld memories and joys galore

In minds married to a creed
With promises that raise expectations
But deliver little beneath a doctrine deed

Which longs for more than fancy felicitations
That once a year weave winds of creative commemorations.
