Valentines

A valentine
is a corporate expression
really its commercial from the off
and what it does
it get more bums on
restaurant seats
more cards, more flowers
more retails powers
for just one day
the buzz

puts emphasis
on lovers
and their wishes
but really what all lovers
ought to do
is treat everyday
now as a valentine
on every day make
her sun shine
just say

here you are a pair of
shiny leggings
a picture
a bunch of flowers
a silver ring
every day
a smile
a kiss
a cuddle on the sofa
for its love a lone
that brings us everything

and if we do believe this
and I for one do please
send a sweet heart everyday
and see what joy that brings
