Oh!What a Valentine! (For Dupe)

OH ! WHAT A VALENTINE ! As the clock tickles away horarily On the day set aside for Romeo In the heart of a Juliet I waited , I did waited For a once Golden Dace of a Juliet Whom I have longed to Romeo on this day I rang the ring unto her hearing Behold my Juliet jumps from One hour to another, posting her Romeo Like a letter whose destination is lost I waited , I did waited Till time waits for me no more It dawned on me heavily I was not Today’s Romeo du Valentino Neither was I the Romeo Nor the chosen Valentino I delude myself into a lover’s garden trance Where I held tight unto her Our tongues lost in each others’ mouth As my heart- beat ran through the Speedometer like Ben Johnson Our urge for each other. Made us surge forward in a frenzy order We got lost in another cloud “I love you” chorused us simultaneously From my trance, I transited back to life I spoke to my mind to come off The rituals of Valentine My feet was heavy to free itself from The dancing steps of the “Koko of a Dome” For there is no sanity in the vanity of a Valentine She rang the ring unto my hearing, pleading When darkness has come upon The surface of the Earth. It was a time for “Bobo” Valentino I shrugged it off! I am not Bobo Valentino I was to be a Romeo du Valentino Oh! What a Valentine!
