It’s eve of valentine
Secret blossoms picking time
Some young mind had said
The bell shall toll
On sacred heart tall
The day all be bright
Cupid will strike right
For the bereaved spirit
That cursed the dark moon
Valentine shall knock
On knees undo hearts lock
You shall smile at the moon
And beg blessings soon
Joy shall swell abound
In embrace breach bounds
Cold weather shrivel afar
In glowing eyes lightening star
Did the world ever subsist
In love great doubt resist
A rose, a ring, a word, a kiss
More to fool that you exist....
Oh! In the name of valentine
Romantic fools one remain
The charm and mystic all gone
When none returns till dawn
A day of mirth and dream
Spent in speculation grim
Virgin hearts drown in pain
Chanting unworthy and sustain
What folly to slowdown wits
Young minds in fantasy risks
A valentine is not drop a fall
But that chords hearts call
In fantasy does Cinderella pair
Down here it’s unlikely fair
Girl, know it’s not fairy tale
The cursed moon is neither dark nor pale
Should the moment be right
Sure the wings will take flight
