Sense Sonnet - Acher

Saint Valentine

Claudius, Emperor of Rome
Banned his soldiers from being wed.
The Catholic Church was my home,
And I followed God's law instead.
My priestly duties I did do,
And married soldiers to their wives.
In prison, the emperor threw
Me, where no prisoner survives.
The jailer's daughter came to me
With food, and then we fell in love.
A heart shaped note I wrote lastly,
Before the ax sent me above.

I hope she got this note of mine
Voicing love from her Valentine.
