Jaded Valentine

Posted on February 12, 2024 by ccarterglass

Feed me your faded love, my Love

My jaded valentine

Torn from adverts personal

Smoke stained and splashed with wine

You’re not my first, I’m not you’re last

We’ll be each other’s never

Love’s just eternal ‘til it’s past

Entombed in selfish pleasure

    Did you write this poem? If so, very good. It reminds me of a Dorothy Parker poem. ________________________________

    This is the Valentine’s poem I recite to myself every Valentine’s eve:

    Tomorrow is Saint Valentine’s Day

    English source: William Shakespearehttps://oxfordsong.org/poet/william-shakespeare

    Tomorrow is Saint Valentine’s day, All in the morning betime, And I, a maid at your window, To be your Valentine. Then up he rose, and donned his clothes, And dupped the chamber door. Let in the maid that out a maid Never departed more. ________________________________
