Valentines day poems
Let us first understand what the word Valentine means & what the word poem means. Valentines day which is celebrated worldwide on 14th February on account of Saint Valentine. A day on which special greetings cards (valentine cards) are sent, usually anonymously, to a person or people to whom one feels attracted.

A composition in verse rather than in prose. A literary composition written with a passion or beauty of language more features of poetry than of prose. A creation, object, or experience having beauty suggestive of poetry. Therefore in literary context what we mean by Valentines Poems is that a composition in

"Love can make you do things that you never thought possible".
"Love, an emotion so strong that you would give up everything, to just feel it once, to know that you are part of something special. To know that you can feel what love really is, to know, to feel, to llove."
"To love someone is to understand each other, to laugh together, to smile with your heart and to trust one another. One important thing is to let each other go if you can't do this."
