Martyred and buried in Via Flaminia,
north of Rome near Milivian bridge.
Claudius, the mightiest pagan turned,
Valentine into the most sacred thing.
Judge Asterius witnessed the miracle
while keeping the saint in house arrest,
his born blind daughter got the vision,
Valentine saint hence passed the test.
Kept spreading the message of Love,
numerous couples he thence baptised,
spread of Christianity provoked them
idolaters against him got organized...
Unscarred he and his weird devotion
is enough for us to get mesmerized,
remains alive Saint Valentine till day
and love romance he once patronized .
Content of love whether big or small
present in heart of mine or thine's
is the proof of Valentine's presence
wrongly some search him in shrines
