Cupid's Deadly Bow

Twinkling eyes behind veiled sight Hair turning slowly from peppered to white Heart beats, it pounds a drum roll Matching the heart of the one you stole Rock and Roll, the beat’s in your blood- Youth trapped inside, love still in young bud The blossom of the bud will reach its full bloom The petals as they open, as a bride to a groom. Feelings never change, no matter the age Youth calls to us all on that I will wage Love holds no bounds it strikes where it will Cupid and his darts keep firing still There is no armour to protect the chest The arrows still pierce, even the best So if you see a little winged boy with a bow Duck, run away, hide, cos you never just know. © ~GG~ 7/11/2012
