Red Heart

It was initially meant for valentine's day. It shows that valentine's day should not only be the day to express love but that love can be expressed all year round.

I won't be your valentine
For valentine is just a day
Celebrated once in a year
A day so far away from the end of the year
So if I love you on valentine's
Who will I love for the rest of the year?

I won't be your valentine
For valentine is in red
Symbolising the day's love
I will love you for whatever colour
Come white
Blue
Black
Green and all those
For if I favour you for red
Who will I favour for the other colours?

I won't be your valentine
For roses are the flowers used
On this day
But what about the lillies
Bamboo, Jasmine, Acacia
And maybe the Amaranth and Mistletoe
If I give you the roses
Who will I give the othe flowers?

I won't be your valentine
For expensive restaurants and expensive meals are eaten
But other french, italian, spanish restaurants open the rest of the year
So if I take you there on this day
Who will I take for the rest of the year?

Be my valentine forever
Let's celebrate our love together
On each and every day
In any other way
With any other available colour
Any known flower
With just us being lovers

If you accept to be my valentine
Forever
Then on the 14 February
We will celebrate our love in red
With roses so red
In French restaurants decorated in red

Love is a cliche subject in poems yet only skilled writers are able to capture it. You focused not on love in general but the devaluation of love. This poem truly shows your talent! I truly enjoyed it!

[Louisa-Msiska]

I feel very honoured. That was something I wa trying to achieve and to have someone see it makes me feel happy

Exactly, valentine's day is just a commercial holiday. There is no point of making a big deal out of if unless people actually care about each other every other day of the year!

Keep up the good work! :)

Thank you very much for seconding my thought TTina
