My love, don’t walk past
as I stand apart from the others,
half-hidden near a large display
of cardboard cupids and paper roses,
can't you see me?

I’m your valentine heart,
wrapped in pink satin and lace,
filled with delectable surprises
guaranteed to satisfy your every craving.

I know, it’s easy to be tempted
by cheap imitations,
flashy red sirens in all shapes and sizes,
crowded together under blue lights.

At first glance,
they appear sinfully delicious,
mouthwatering
in their splendidly decorated,
tight cellophane packages

but inside, they’re nothing more than
bitter disappointments,
candy-coated fruits and nuts,
laying abandoned,
half-chewed and spat out
by others who’ve sampled them first.


It’s true, I may be harder to find,
and might cost you more,
but I’m the real thing darling,
the top quality,
genuine good taste
that you hunger for.

Pick me up,
unwrap me slowly,
savor my sweetness on your lips
melt me with your touch...
I'm your valentine heart,
don’t settle for anything less...
than the very best of the batch.

A rare treat indeed!  I love this.   Nobody should settle for anything less.

Thanks everybody!

I had fun writing this!  I guess I'm just getting warmed up for Valentines Day a little early!
