First Valentine! Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

The First Valentines Day,
That First Year We Met,
Whole World Was New,
As if it meant only for Us!

Those Late Night Calls,
Of Midnight Dreams,
Without a Wakeup Call,
Time Slipped Away Just!

Those Candle-Lit Dinners,
When Silent Hearts Spoke,
With Honey Dipped Words,
The Time Stood a Still!

The Kingdom of Love,
Has No Legal Frontiers,
And Words of Wisdom,
Were Never Heeded!

Those Tiny Whispers,
That Frustrated Elders;
That Magical Bonding,
Which Ignited The Young!

Like Cheerful Butterflies,
We Jumped and Danced,
To the Tunes of Nature,
With Nectar Refills of Buds!

There be Parliament of Fowls,
This Year and The Very Next,
I Shall Only Choose You,
Time and Again Every Year!

Many Seasons Changed,
With Several Anniversaries,
But The First Valentine,
Remained a Sweet Memory!
