My Take On The Valentine`s Day. Poem by PARTHA SARATHI PAUL

I won`t say
'happy valentine`s day.'
Neither will I celebrate
it in the customary way.

My ladylove knows
who my ladylove is.
And this lover knows
who his ladylove is.

You may know
this fellow is a hard core drunk.
You may know
this fellow is a hardened poet.

Tell me the day
on which I will celebrate the alcohol day?
Tell me the day
on which I will celebrate the poetry day?

Even if you tell me the days
and you tell me all the many ways
as to how one should worship these days;
I will have very little to do
as I ritually do
observe them everyday
day after day.

What will an almanac or a calender
tell one who is a stalwart drinker
a stalwart poetry writer
and a stalwart lover?
