Valentine Blues

Ants are on their way to trap the cakes
Valentines so sweet, only for couples’ sake!
Love notes, red dresses, and roses all around
Sweet melodies that love only surround

And hey, Cupid got it bad
Valentines Day, why not all have?
Bitter loners for sure are sad
Oh, nothing but a blue Valentine fad

Wishes, dreams, fantasies
All comprises of what it seems
A lonely you and a heart subdued
For a love that is far undue

Valentine Tonight

By: LARA MAELA A. ENRIQUEZ

Sweet thing you are to me

The only one I know who’s lovely

My angel, who compares to you?

Valentines wouldn’t be the same without you.

You are one lucky guy

I know my heart would not deny

I’m longing to be with you tonight

Oh dear, my Valentine will be so bright

These heartbeats are taking my breath away

I’m afraid I might say

I love you, I swear I do

Are you feeling the same way, too?

My Valentine, what a joy to me

Your words are my fantasies

I love you, I swear I do

I will say, yes and yes, it’s me and you.
