Fluttering Of The Heart

Red hearts floating all around,
Pink toys exchanged all in fun;
Eyes straining to look beyond,
To catch a glimpse of the lovely one.

Flowers, teddies rule the day,
Accosted with exotic chocolates;
None can keep the excitement at bay,
After all it’s the day for Valentines.

Secluded in an alcove I stand,
Watching the stream of festivities;
I though but can’t give a hand,
To be part of all merry activities.

Not long ago did this heart beat,
Every moment for a lovely being;
Today it’s such an arduous feat,
To make it even meekly reign.

Loves mighty say the very wise,
Loves all you need sing the bards;
Without a thought, in a trice,
Can I say these are but flimsy yarns.

There are no fairy-tales in life,
There’s no ideal perfect match;
All you have is your own strife,
Leading through a twisting patch.

The cacophony of life drowns,
Often the feeble voice of truth;
Would one be ever, without frowns,
Led by fluttering of one’s heart, so faint?
