Valentine Poems

Saint Valentine's Day known as Valentine's Day is an annual event held each year on the 14th February by lovers to celebrate their love.

Quite a few legends exist as to the origin for St Valentine
One legend that he was a roman who was put to death for refusing to give up christianity and that he died on 14th February 269AD
The legend continues that St Valentine left a note for the jailer's daughter whom he had befriended and that he signed the note "from your Valentine".
Another legend states St Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius and Claudius had Valentine jailed for defying him in 496AD and Pope Gelasius set aside February 14th to honour St Valentine.
I think I like the jailer's daughter legend best.

In the U.S Miss Esther Howland is given credit for sending the first valentine cards. Commercial valentines were introduced in the 1800's and now it is the most popular time for lovers to express their feelings. So here is a little help to write those special words......

Valentine Poems verses

The following are suitable to be sent to either sex:-

I gave you my heart many years ago
And from the start my love continued to grow
On this day of the year it is appropriate to say
I love you my valentine - Happy Valentine's day

by Margmax 2011


Love can be wonderful, exciting and warm
It can also be miserable, depressing and do us harm
My love for you has filled my life with happiness
As we build our life together I hope happiness is more and sadness is less
So on this day when lovers have their say
My darling, I love you always not just on Valentine's day

by Margmax 2011

Next one should be sent with either a single rose or a number of roses

Flowers can convey what people want to say
The type and colour of the flower simply points the way
The flower of love everyone knows
Is always, without a doubt, a red rose
So flower(s) please do what you are designed for
Then my love will know how much she(he) is adored
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

by Margmax 2011

Roses are red violets are blue
That is a very old one I will not use on you
I will simply say - I love you completely
And just to prove it - I have written it very neatly
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Valentine poems verses

Be my valentine - go on say you will
If you say no I will be so ill
I am sure you do not want to be responsible for that
So just say YES and we can make a pact
A pact to see how we are as a pair
I am sure we can find things we like to share
So give it a try - please do
Because I am sure we will get along me and you

Valentine poems verses

Valentine day is the day of the year
When lovers surface to declare
How they feel about another
Giving them the opportunity to discover
If feelings will flourish and grow
As they spend time together and get to know
If they are compatible and can be a pair
And therefore build a life to share
So be my valentine my love
To see if we fit together like a glove

Chocolate is the food of love
They say it was sent from the gods above
I will feed you chocolate by the ton
If you say you will love me honey bun
Happy Valentine

by Margmax 2011

The following is to send to a female:-

You are a sexy, beautiful, wonderful girl
From the day we met you put me in a whirl
A whirl of emotions I have never felt before
You are my Valentine girl who I simply adore
So on this day when lovers give their heart
My heart belongs to you - may we never be apart

by Margmax 2011

I will be your valentine if you will be mine
We can celebrate with romantic dinners and bottles of wine
We can travel the path of wedded bliss
And you can be a Mrs instead of a Miss
So say you will be my Valentine
Because I have booked the dinner and ordered the wine
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

by Margmax 2011

The following is suitable to send to a male

My love, my love, my wonderful guy
If I had a fortune for you I would buy
The moon and the stars but probably that would not do
You would likely want a car or two
But I have not got a fortune I am as poor as can be
So can you just settle for little old me?
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

by Margmax 2011

You are the man for me of that I have no doubt
My heart began to flutter from the first time we went out
I may not often tell you how much you mean to me
But I hope on this day you can now see
I love you I truly, really do
So my darling Happy Valentine's day with lots of love from me to you

Valentine poems verses

From the moment I spied you I knew
I fancied you like mad it is true
Although you dallied and played hard to get
I knew I would succeed so did not fret
So here we are (10) years down the line
And you are still my wonderful Valentine

by Margmax 2011

In the beginning we did not gel
But it did not take that long before I fell
For your personality and other winning ways
So on this day when lovers have their say
I love you truly my Valentine
So p-l-e-a-s-e say you will be mine

by Margmax 2011

Right from the very start
I looked at you and lost my heart
Now that is a painful thing to loose
So please have mercy and choose
This broken hearted poorly sole
So once again I can be whole
SAY YOU WILL BE MY VALENTINE

by Margmax 2011

I am so pleased Valentine Day is here
Now I can say how much you mean to me my dear
My life was boring and dull before you came along
Now it is bright and cheerful all day long
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY MY LOVE

by Margmax 2012

I used to think Valentine's Day was a commercial con
But since you have been in my life I am happy to play along
I can see the merit in telling the person you hold dear in your heart
So this card comes with all my love may we never be apart

by Margmax 2012

Valentine poems verses

That bloke called Valentine did not realize what he started
When he left a love message for his sweetheart he was quite broken hearted
On his way to the gallows he wrote about his feelings
And thousands of years on it has became massive retail dealings

So to keep with the original tradition I decided no massive expensive retail rubbish I would send
A simple love note from the heart that is what Valentine obviously did intend
So here it is written How much you mean to me
You don't need expensive roses because I am sure from this you can see
