Will you be My Valentine?

Will you be My Valentine?


 


Accept, dear man, this little token, 
   And if between the lines you seek, 
You'll find the love I've often spoken—
   The love my dying lips shall speak. 

Our not so little ones are making merry 
   O'er am'rous ditties rhymed in jest, 
But in these words (though awkward—very) 
   The genuine article's expressed.

You are as Hansome and sweet and tender, 
   Dear blue-eyed loving sweetheart mine, 
As when, a callow youth and slender, 
   I asked to be your Valentine.

What though this year of ours be fleeting? 
   What though the year of youth be flown? 
I'll mock old Tempus with repeating, 
   "I love my love and him alone!" 

And when I fall before his reaping, 
   And when my stuttering speech is dumb, 
Think not my love is dead or sleeping, 
   But that it waits for you to come. 

So take, dear love, this little token, 
   And if there speaks in any line 
The sentiment I'd fain have spoken, 
   Say, will you kiss your Valentine?

Wondrous, flowing, passionate, loyal. You and your expressions are truly beautiful. Harv

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
