You Are Still My Valentine

years ago my heart strings you did untwine

fortunately love sickness has no diagnosis 

your kiss is sweeter than sweet dessert wine 

supplying me with affection in powerful doses 

our love for each other is without doubt genuine,

year on year our love, sincerity, devotion grows,

our life together is heaven sent quite Devine 

predictably every February I give you a rose 

take you out, propose as we wine and dine

over the table I look at you, you look at me

I see nothing but beauty, can’t believe you’re mine,

your melodic tones fill my senses with glee

our future is so secure there’s no finishing line

if I was to lose you my life would be over 

it would be like living without any sunshine,

while with you I’m happy living in clover

your mark on my heart you did indelibly sign

so without doubt I don’t take things for granted

our compatibility is not impossible to define

you took Cupid’s arrow and in my heart planted,

with hope I request and beg you to be my valentine.

Thanks Jan, I don’t believe you struggle writing about any theme or form, I wish I possessed half the talent that you possess composing poetry, thanks again for your support and encouragement. :))
