Why One Day?

Methmi Mandara 2007 (Matara)

Free verse
Why just one day for your lover
To take her among flowers in a rover
Limited for one day and be over

Chuckling couples with chilly chocolates
Red roses represents romance
Lips laid, long licks

But

Don't bound to the February Fourteenth
Make everyday as a quarantine
Alone with your valentine
