Valentine by Harold John Delport

If LOVE be the master of emotions to this date;
Then I be a slave and let it seal my fate.
A cupid’s arrow straight to my heart;
Since that day I vowed not to part.
To us this day of LOVE is born…
But my LOVE is eternal and not only from this dawn.
Accept this rose that be so pure;
And know that my love for you shall forever endure.

Much like an artist captures a scene on canvas… poet uses pen strokes to capture his emotions in a moment in time.
