Think of a poetic title on a day like this
think of passions set in a heartfelt bliss
don't think of its absence when love runs dry
or think of broken promises from hearts that cry...

The day of cuddly bears and star struck stares
days of package trim wrapped carefully to the brim...
to have hearts delivered to the forgotten people
by cupids that bend bows from the nearest steeple

Think of the many hearts received at a tender age
until isolated by classmates at an awkward stage
a scapegoat for mannerisms considered unmanly
targeted by critics from outside the family...

think of a poetic valentine on days like this
the adder of a jungle paradise emits a hiss
tempt the young and volatile to take their pick
before hearts are broken, love is kicked out quick...

think of the heart, the rose or any device
send messngers in threes all decked in spice
but don't bother to think of millions of shattered dreams
as you operate heartless venues laden in poor self esteem.


so many hearts are shattered or cracked
so many stockings couldn't hide their lack
'cause the giver of gifts should give from the heart
it's only then that fair love trilogies can start...

Very insightful and well written.
Thanks to God, our hearts not only get cracked, but they also are equipped to heal.
Love, Margherita
