I've Often Wished to Have a Friend

I've often wished to have a Friend
With whom my sweetest hours to spend
To whom I safely might impart
Each wish and weakness of my heart
Who might in every sorrow share
And mingle with my grief a tear
For whom alone I wish to be
And who would only wish for me
And to secure my bliss for life
I'd wish that friend to be my Wife.

My Own Sweet Valentine

Like the sweetly budding rose,
Freshened by the gentle rain
Like the Evening Star that glows,
Brightest of the starry train

Like a well arranged Bouquet,
Where the fairest flowers combine,
Odours rich and colours gay,
Is my own Sweet Valentine

'I Thee Wed' - Romantic Valentine Poem by Charles Dickens

'Come, let's be a comfortable couple and take care of each other!
How glad we shall be, that we have somebody we are fond of always, to talk to and sit with.
Let's be a comfortable couple.
Now do, my dear!'

Martyrdom by John Keats

I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion -
I have shudder'd at it.
I shudder no more.
I could be martyr'd for my religion
Love is my religion 
And I could die for that.
I could die for you.

I Wish You Were My Valentine

I wish you were my Valentine
Though I may not be yours,
And I may, in my ignorance,
Be speaking to closed doors.
I have no inkling of your heart,
No hint what you might say;
But when I think of you the sun
Will just not go away.

There is in you a loveliness
That makes my darkness shine,
And so I'll wait, if wait I must,
To be your Valentine.

Forget-me-not - Classic Victorian Romantic Valentine Poem

Forget me not
No other heart
Can ever be more true than mine
Though many loving friends surround
Thy sunny path, my Valentine

My Funny Valentine - By Chet Baker

My Funny Valentine
Sweet Comic Valentine
You Make Me Smile With My Heart
You're Looks Are Laughable,
Unphotographable
Yet You're My Favorite Work Of Art
Is Your Figure Less Than Greek
Is Your Mouth A Little Weak
When You Open It To Speak
Are You Smart
Don't Change A Hair For Me
Not If You Care For Me
Stay Little Valentine Stay
Each Day Is Valentine's Day

Cupid - Valentine Day Poem / Song

Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
for me

Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Now I don't mean to bother you
But I'm in distress
There's danger of me losing all of my happiness
For I love a girl who doesn't know I exist
And this you can fix

So, Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Nobody but me

Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Now, Cupid, if your arrow makes his love strong for me
I promise I will love him until eternity
I know between the two of us his heart we can steal
Help me if you will

So, Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Nobody but me

Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Now, Cupid, don't you hear me calling you, I need you,
Cupid, help me.

Words by Sam Cooke.

The Magic Of Love - Another Romantic Poem for Valentine's Day

Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery.
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
That love cannot change.
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendour
And sweetness and grace.
Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart
And not with its mind.
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks...
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.
Love can't be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is life's sweet mystery.

If You Love a Vegetarian - Unusual Valentine Day Poem

Cabbage always has a heart;
Green beans string along.
You're such a Tomato,
Will you Peas to me belong?
You've been the Apple of my eye,
You know how much I care;
So Lettuce get together,
We'd make a perfect Pear.
Now, something's sure to Turnip,
To prove you can't be Beet;
So, if you Carrot all for me
Let's let our tulips meet.
Don't Squash my hopes and dreams now,
Bee my Honey, dear;
Or tears will fill Potato's eyes,
While Sweet Corn lends an ear.
I'll Cauliflower shop and say
Your dreams are Parsley mine.
I'll work and share my Celery,
So be my Valentine.
