*** On Valentine's Day *** Poem by Sulaiman Mohd Yusof

Hi sweetie pie so divine
Your beauty is so refined
The day has come to define
You’re my lucrative Valentine

The roses for you are not for any woman
It’s the roses grown from Eden
Our ties are not sudden
We’re closer to heaven


Looking at my bedroom’s wall
I see your ever sweet face there
I smile and take a fall
Your love for me to spare


A walking distance, I walk
To the Gifts’ Shop, I step in
I sigh and take a knock
My head goes gaga, to find the hint


What’s best for you is yet to come
It could be a small token, of no meaning
To tell Mom about you would be no harm
Dad would say “it’s your picking”


Sometimes I wonder, what’s made me love you
I guess your kind heart and understanding
The groove in you and your thick lips too
But most of all, your big blue eyes that conquering


Remember the first time I stared at you?
You were in the lobby ushering me
The next day, we were in bed, encaged, like a zoo
Making love till dawn, like crazy


Dear, on this auspicious date we lay
We conjoin our hearts, souls and love
I propose to you on this Valentine’s Day
May our marriage get the blessing from above
