Validate Valentine - Marlee

VALIDATE VALENTINE

I'm trying to hold my breath

To save my lungs from this savour

This flavour of fine vanilla her eye screams give me

To save my tongue from lashing my desires at her left ear like an amateur poet

Muttering words like "moon", "sugar" and "tea"

A cold place, the taste of her and lipton after its use by me

To save my teeth from being stuck in between pounds of flesh from this chicken

Oh my!! But she is somebody's child

This chick should never have left her mother's side

I'm trying to save my heart from pumping something less than blood

To save my save my mind from losing soundness

Lest this amorous imaginations lead my faith to the gallows

Cupid's arrows could not have been more fatal

After this night out, I can't help but lights out

Our phones would grow cobwebs and this date could become dusty

Until she decides to clean herself up after her friends bridal shower

I can't help the feeling this day

Why does the heart shape on the val card look more like her backside?

The love wishes on the val cards do not sound like my mine

They do not express what I mean

If I ever try to write some, I'm afraid I'll be mean

I'll be stealing the purity of these blank sheets with lies

Draining this beauty off her ink

Will it be better if I tell her straight?

"You may not last another val"

She called my name from across the table, but my mind had wondered far

These questions stood before me as I looked past her

Is there a purer sense to the phrase "let's make love"?

What does it take to show

I need to outgrow this mindset

When I hear "love", what should come to my mind first?

I need a valid valentine

One where true love flows

Lest these clothes of bright gray and red may soon give way

And I'll be exposed for what I truly am

A box of rotten tomatoes

- Yours truly,

Mar Lee
