My first Valentine was
my love at first sight
though my senior
and a bit older
than me at the college
now lost to the world
of wisdom,
ever the Queen
of my kingdom.
The second was my student
a happy co-incident,
when i joined her college
as a teacher of English.
now herself in my shoes
keeping gracefully
to herself her woes.
The third came a bit late
though with a clean slate,
i apologized saying
she missed the bus
because the fourth had
already been there.
A cool tigress, the fourth
never allowed me to digress
from her and her concerns
and be myself.
i took her leave
dis-satisfied and naturally
not at all contended.
Then followed the fifth,
i would not discuss
because she so desired
and i promised,
not to make any fuss
after she had bid me
good-bye, so bye bye.
Since last time around,
my wife has been my Valentine
she gives me a red-rose
when i remember those,
who left me in lurch
in search of greener pastures.. My Valentines
