| When having a happy valentines day
Some necessary essentials there are.
The first is a flower, a red one will do.
A long stemmed rose closed up all tight.
At least you’ll have something that’s pretty,
While enjoying the warmth of a fire.
Blazing away with a gentle bright glow,
The fire is a must have, warm and cheery.
A carton of ice cream cools off the passion
Candles will add to the general mood,
Tall ones, standing all by themselves
As they cast their tender pale shadows,
A chocolate unwrapped and exposed,
Starts to melt from the heat and flow
Onto the floor where it seeps in the rug.
As its flavor is lost to the world,
A violin plays a tremulous tune,
The chocolate it melts faster still.
The candles burn down the end of a day
The rose dissolved in a tear,
The candle went out last night.
