St. Valentine’s Day

Saint Valentine’s Day
          when we celebrate
The bonds of love,
          the want
                    for a soulmate.
That’s the high day
          to listen to your heart —
To bring love
          to the level of the art!
This day, the wind bemoans
          if we fail
To meet
          at the crossroads of the fate
Each other,
          unaware walking past
Like in a play
                    disastrously miscast,
If lonely hearts
          keep yearning for a bliss
Of living through,
          appreciating this —
If only
          for a moment —
                    a clutch
Of loving hands…
          albeit a fleeting touch,
The lightest graze —
          and happy
                    with that much!
May no more the wind
          wail and bemoan —
But warm two hearts
          that are no longer lone;
May it become
          as hot as a desert gale
And never grow cold
          or shorten sail!
