Without a Valentine All alone I dine So peaceful, so serene But not too far, I hear a scream!
One guy stood her on their blind date! Second came for dinner too late Third one was way too afraid Another slapped for his haste to get laid
Everything so crimson, hurts my eyes My usual brown pie is red too, Sigh! Pitiful eyes look my way I can’t digest the hype of this day!
There another drunkard sings ridiculously, Miss Curvy dances seductively, The ugly blonde rejects “The Ring” snobbishly While the old lady argues adorably!
Oh, sweet Valentine’s Have you all lost your minds? You've wasted months, days and hours To sweeten this day which only turns sour!
Trying too hard to be someone else Won’t ring any happy bells! A few gestures of love can make it special too So make it memorable for them and you!

I had posted this poem on my blog on 14th February 2014. Really wanted to share it here. Didn't have the patience until the next Valentine's Day! I am not anti valentine but just wanted to illustrate this perspective :) Share with me your valentine days incidents!
