I'll not send you flowers

that's artificial love

I'll come only with my heart

to render all I have that you deserve-


would you prefer

my look or that of every flower?

Not a single one could speak

of the love which on you I'll shower!


How quickly will they fade

overnight they will wither

to love they do no justice

they can't take my place as lover-


Valentine's Day-- what a trifle!

In our hearts we've planted the eternal

love has no shelf-life nor dates

all else is nothing but ephemeral!
