Last Valentine’s Day

Last Valentine’s Day

By Arman Hoque

Last Valentine’s Day I gave you my heart,
Locked up in a glass box you could keep on display.
This Valentine’s Day I don’t know where to start?
There’s so much to say.

I miss the bloom of roses,
I miss your adjacent poses.
Miss how you feel on me.
Miss the heaps of love you’d lavish on me.
Not every day can be special the same way,
Saint Valentine’s Day,
For couples to play,
A Hallmark way to say….
Say it in a rhythm of words,
Like beauty of singing birds…


A ray of light on a bright new morn,
When daylight declares the day born.
One day to appreciate the warmth in our lives;
The comfort and security between husbands and wives.
Everyone loves,  someone in mind,
Or just someone you love for being kind.
