Valentine-Devotee Poem by Chayan Sarkar

Valentine-Devotee

Rating: 4.0


Have I such power to stand beside you,
No, no; methink no bother about you.
Oh mistress, I, why repent for you
Though it is certain that I not for you.

But the golden dreams of valentine
Now neither for thine, nor for mine.
Where are thy sweet voices that wake
Up in midnight; and mine for her sake.

Alas! poor rose! now I have so much
But in this holy day no one to touch,
Perhaps your hands are full this day
Not from me, yet be much happier may.

Oh! Valentine devotee, never suits me
For thy attractive lips don't support me.
You feel not for me, I, being an ardent lover,
Enough, enough, feel in time, that remains forever.

HAVING READ ONCE AGAIN, I wanna tell you this, but I mean what I said in these TWO responses, you have written a lovely poem, BUT what I wanna say next to this is, as a CRTITIC: It seems that I woke up at midnight and read this poem, or did I dream? No, on the contrary, this is real, it just occurred real....but the words seem so unfinished, I dunno why, izzit the grammar, the construction or just the language, they seem like pieces of words,

Hurray! ............................Enjoy the day.

Love as much as you can. Otherwise Criticise as much as Eliot done. Haha 😀

A lost love is always painful, at least on such holy occasions
