Oh, My Valentine

Hey, smiling beauty My ravishing companion Arriving in spring to give my life a lift I shall sing for you, our love’s tuneful lore Cynosure of beauty, you are The darling of everyone’s eye I wonder how I could get through Without you by my side You are there to remind me How beautiful this life is! Indoor or outdoor, I look for your company In my solitary room, you sit and smile. As I go for a walk, you are around me. You dress in pink, red, mauve or pastel shades The sweet scent you carry takes my breath away. Your pervading aroma Stirs and thrills my nerves You hold so much poetry n’ romance, On your soft crimson cheeks I see magic hiding in your eyes In your sweet company, my aches I forget You restore into me Life’s tuneful harmony Will you stay with me As an abiding companion But sadly I recognize, You are a fair weather friend! My Valentine, let me kiss you in public Steal the honey out of you Nobody would object my act Except perhaps a BUTTERFLY! Feb.21. 2023 In Bloom Poetry Contest Sponsor- Joseph May
