Cooing in chorus as the red rose flutters!
It’s 14th of February and I talk of, you know
Those Valentinos and their husky whispers!
Rituraj and St. Valentine walk hand in hand
This year it is special for the graphic band!
Like it befell more than a millennium ago
Rituraj joins hands with the romantic band!
Chaucer gave life to ‘the parliament of fowls’
When all the birds, including the hooting owls
Shall wait for 14th Feb, the first day of spring!
To choose their mates amidst songs and howls!
Some got their mates, some only the brickbats
For all the clamor & clatter, they lost their bets.
They would wait a full long year, for the spring!
Hoping next year not to hide behind their hats!
Remember, spring and valentine are intertwined
It has happened every year, they’re so entangled!
Love birds wait eagerly for the spring, every year
Expecting saint’s presidency to end the dead end!
Today is basant panchmi , the herald of Spring!
So is Valentine’s Day, the harbinger of Spring!
It was Geoffrey Chaucer, father of modern poetry
Who made Love an art, in the spirit of the Spring!
Rituraj = Prince Charming in Spring!
Om Shantih
