Valentine gift: A poem by Manisha Amol

 

No blossoms no permeating fragrance
No euphonic sound of the dulcet heartbeat
No unfurling of romantic emotions
No candlelit dinner in an exotic locale
These are predetermined templates of expressions of love

My Valentine Gift for you is the poetry of the heart
Lyrics in the mind pouring on the bare canvas
Penning sweet words to express my emotions
Counting innumerable ways and uncountable days
To express gratitude from the deepest core

An ardent desire to search for happiness
Unabated longing for dreams to come true
Euphoric innocence in the belief that love exists
Yearn for belonging to someone so special
Unbelievable but true, when I met you

Our love is incredibly incomparable!
Emotional downpour soaking in the petrichor
Wiser than the wisest, higher than the highest
Pure like an angel, souls that can never dissever
Your presence, a precious Valentine’s gift I ever desire!
