Cupid's golden bow and arrow in hand always hits the target to the tightest degree shedding his green skin like the chameleon he is the frog began drowning non-stop smiling as he fell deeper into ocean colors of all shades a pearl in a deep pool of beauty bathing so bright he felt an electric bolt filled with deep undercurrents string sparks fly in the first kiss with all feeling and intention String sparks sizzilin' fly in the first kiss and bring dazzling amazing golden warm struck straight but oh so gallant and oh so wonderful In the heart on fire within passion hot underneath the stars sailing of into space inside floating around thoughts off the first mate desires your affectionate smiles, laughs, and grins sings in the mind's eye grace of a thousand swans in flight into another space over the Milky Way jewels sparkles a star tender doting to the soul's eyes floating to you bouncing inside waves steaming hot seductive lashes floating through those curtains we join souls uniting tender wooing and wonderful woven passion softly we forever kiss my love as desire always lays with you I need and crave your love to take me to the edge of the night dancing in my dreams struck deeply while turning this world upside down into a golden paradise ball with all bells and whistles that I've wished in my life Cupid's golden bow and arrow in hand always hits the target tight and perfect Always! Always! Always! Always! Liam McDaid and Gary Bateman, Collaborative Free Verse Poem, October 16, 2014

Cupid/Eros is the counterpart of Indian Kamadeva is a perfect pitcher with Bowstrings. Kamadeva was burnt to ashes by Lord Shiva's third eye-fire when he had hit it big on Shiva's person ( while he was meditating)with his flower arrow perfect 10 and ignited his passion to spill over. Cupids are unbeatable, always, and immortal as well. Love. I have enjoyed the poem thoroughly. Good one.----rajat

A double success of the arrows by hitting the target twice. A rare occurrence but not surprised since the archers are Liam and Gary, Gary and Liam! A beautiful collaboration with extraordinary result of two fantastic souls! A seven to each of you!
