Yingchen's Valentine Poem

Velveting round the corners,
Arrive the mushy and pink.
Love scents tinting the air gleefully,
Enticement, flowers and winks.

Nights of rushing endlessly,
Tending cards for that one girl.
Ignites and bursts of ecstasy,
No merrier when 'yes'es unfurl.

Exuberant planning or letting minds go stray,
Still it's undeniably enjoyable on Valentines Day!

------------------------------------------------
Ohya I have one of my own too.

Mine

Busying around, rushing here and there,
Mind occupied with study and stair,
Calendar pages fly,
soon, Valentine's Day is nigh.

Glances at clock, glances at date,
she cries "Oh, this I hate!"
She's behind schedule.
Runs out the door, grabbing her module.

Of Valentine's she's unaware
But someone else wants to share.
Skids to a stop, pages flying,
There in the doorway her sweetheart is smiling.

"Today you have no work, no rush."
She protests, but he says "Hush."
Flowers, cards and chocolates he produce,
her mouth open and books askew.

"But-I can't just skip," she heads for the door,
and stops-he pulls her, "There's more.
I've taken leave for you-
Today you're mine, and don't be blue."

She hugs him with all her might,
surrendering without a fight.
Tears threatening she fought,
she has found the love she sought.
