Listen to poem:

O' My Valentine

His whispered words, my heart ripped apart
O’ my ode to my valentine, none but a farce

I nothing but a temptress, he my true storm
No normality here, both of us, not the norm

Two celestial bodies; afflicted on each other
Scores beyond reason, O’ my valentine lover

His ardent storms, carried across the oceans
She heeds not his command, nor his notions

His lies won’t beguile her, she will not listen
He wants her freedom onto her to imprison

Whatever his wants, the Gods will not allow
Acknowledging his deceits they will not bow

So for my valentine today I’m giving it a miss
I need not your poisonous and so deadly kiss

My valentine
