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

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

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.

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.

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.

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…
