An entry for the Love in 50 words challenge

Hearts. Flowers.

Teddy bears.

Lacy, racy underwear.

Got a card? Who's it from?

Mystery making insides thrum.

Valentine, the saint of love

Looking down from up above:

"Enjoy it, mortals! Go ahead!

Stuff your face! Romp in bed!

I loved Love! Lost my life!

So you could dine by candlelight!"
