St Valentine

Love barred in, I met him, The cleric, Teacher... The Christian. He'd been jailed, For practicing, The joining of Love's Hearts The Emperor Sought young men For War, They could not marry anymore. But love's enshrined' In hearts, in minds, Thought The Pastor Valentine In Secret lovers came to wed, And Ignored The law of Emperor Said They Say Loves Blind, But loves Hand so kind, Took the blindness From my eyes, As this teacher prayed For me, I once was Blind, but now I see. My heart Entwined, And his with mine. But marriage bliss the sacred kiss, Was not to be For him and me. My love, My Teacher, Pastor, Friend, Has met me past the bitter end For his love was True you see And in true love For him and me Love will last Eternally Death Took him, But Life Took him too, Took him to Light, To Love so true. No one could kill The love of mine, It lives on with St Valentine.
