A Letter To Cupid
Dear Cupid,
I will admit I never liked you at all
Something about love made my skin crawl
I did my best to avoid you at all cost
But you managed to hit me while I was lost
At first I was scared I'd end with a knife in my back
But now I am grateful for what I use to lack
Despite this letter becoming really sappy
My lover and I are extremely happy
I realize now you are very smart
So I thank you Cupid with all my heart
I will admit I never liked you at all
Something about love made my skin crawl
I did my best to avoid you at all cost
But you managed to hit me while I was lost
At first I was scared I'd end with a knife in my back
But now I am grateful for what I use to lack
Despite this letter becoming really sappy
My lover and I are extremely happy
I realize now you are very smart
So I thank you Cupid with all my heart

WICKED CUPID
As the story goes, Lucifer, who was a Cherub, was cast out of Heaven for not fulfilling his angelic duties. I've often wondered if he wasn't the only Cherub to meet this fate. Because from my experience, Cupid can be one evil little weevil. "So Cupid here is my message to you. If your going to shoot me on Valentine's Day, would you please shoot the woman I'm in love with too?"

Retrograde Soft Tirade
Cupid's Arrow , Unlike Time's , Can Be Retrograde
Or A Roundabout Mobius Strip Of Memory Fade
Of Love's Algorithm's Run And Decisions Made
And In Garden Erotic One's Stumbling Stones Laid
When In This Return This Burning Phoenix Fire
Stoked By Emotion's Strokes Of Past Dead Desire
Fed By Blood Bled Red By Rose Thorn Covered Bier
Is A Rising Unbidden Resurgence Of A Fallen Empire
Or A Roundabout Mobius Strip Of Memory Fade
Of Love's Algorithm's Run And Decisions Made
And In Garden Erotic One's Stumbling Stones Laid
When In This Return This Burning Phoenix Fire
Stoked By Emotion's Strokes Of Past Dead Desire
Fed By Blood Bled Red By Rose Thorn Covered Bier
Is A Rising Unbidden Resurgence Of A Fallen Empire

Oh if only
There was a girl called Naomi,
who'd swallow any baloney.
We would all be shot by Cupid
if only she wasn't stupid.
Good looks and brains, oh if only.

Quilled
When love hurts
it doesn’t bruise;
it cuts.
I asked for a refill
I asked for
Novacaine
for my cavities,
of course!
(Damn chocolate!)
I received nothing
to dull the pain. . .
All Cupid gave me
was a dozen
arrows
up my butt.

Cupid's curse
Cupid’s arrow
Pierced my heart
Blade so narrow
Ripped me apart
Confusion rules
When love struck
Oh so cruel
Complete mind fuck
You see her
In every deed
You would defer
To her every need
You are full
Of desperate want
So beautiful
Every thought she'd haunt
Cupid’s gift
Is but a curse
Cut adrift
Left for the worse
What can I do
When on my own
But dream of you
When left alone.
Pierced my heart
Blade so narrow
Ripped me apart
Confusion rules
When love struck
Oh so cruel
Complete mind fuck
You see her
In every deed
You would defer
To her every need
You are full
Of desperate want
So beautiful
Every thought she'd haunt
Cupid’s gift
Is but a curse
Cut adrift
Left for the worse
What can I do
When on my own
But dream of you
When left alone.

A shy Sight
I have seen you a million times
but I've never looked at you
the way I did today
It was a shy sight
because I saw you
but you looked different.
You spoke differently
and you froze time
I've heard you speak a million times
but I've never listened to you
the way I did today
I was shy to respond
because I started noticing
which words I use around you.
Being around you felt different
I have been around you a million times
but never have I ever
felt your presence
the way I did today
You moved so beautifully
and I was shy to walk with you.
It was such a shy sight
to think that I Mr. Confidence
would be lost for words.
Is this what it feels like
to be shot by cupids arrow.
Instead of leaving you dead
It leaves you shy.
but I've never looked at you

Two souls
In that moment you lit my eyes ablaze,
Sweet face,
The yin to my yang.
I felt that moment,
You belonged,
In my arms, my heart, my home.
In warm chocolate pools
I drowned,
Bathed in delight.
I felt the jolt,
Two souls stolen by cupid,
Irrevocably entwined and released.
In the wild roar we play,
The fire we bask,
Our hearts, we dance.
Our two souls,
Stolen by cupid,
Entranced and released, together.
Sweet face,
The yin to my yang.
I felt that moment,
You belonged,
In my arms, my heart, my home.
In warm chocolate pools
I drowned,
Bathed in delight.
I felt the jolt,
Two souls stolen by cupid,
Irrevocably entwined and released.
In the wild roar we play,
The fire we bask,
Our hearts, we dance.
Our two souls,
Stolen by cupid,
Entranced and released, together.

Stupid Cupid
Cupid are you blind?
Why are you wasting your time?
Playing Russian roulette with all our lives
Peaking at me with heart eye emojis
Mayhem’s is all you’ve shown me
We’re not even friends, you don’t even know me
Maybe I like being alone
No one can visit if no one’s home
Flying around on your little mission
But when did you ever ask my permission
You stupid little cherub, how dare you try and ensnare us
If you want me to fall in love fight me man to man
Wing to fist, give me the chance to prevent this
If you want to fix something how about your fashion
Concerned with my passion, you’re in line for a bashin
Put on a shirt and some pants
And just leave love to chance
Cupid… you really are stupid
You annoying little rat
Controlling the mouse and the cat
Making us puppets on strings
Making fools give fools rings
Your help isn’t wanted or needed
If love were a book I wouldn’t ever read it
So here is your chance to do something great
Put down your bow before it’s too late
I’ve said my peace, no need for debate
Just stay far from me and they’ll be no more mistakes…
