(This time, my love poem is a cry for humanity!)
Dear folks,
today, let’s try to redefine
the way we have always
celebrated Valentine
let’s forget about flowers and sweet talks
because none of them
could give us
the eternal taste of love.
Not even a teddy bear
I know you like to touch it dear
but I must say
that love can be much softer
when you know that
it is not a mere toy
Why should we hear the music
from a crystal ball box,
when our heartbeats
remind us
a thousand times a day
that love is not just
an automatic play?
In this Valentine
let’s hold our candles
and find love again.
we can ignore the dead castles
and get a ticket
that takes us
to the shabby shelters, humble houses
where love has not yet
rotted away.
