Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Sonnet

Cupid Pulls Back the Bow

Oh, dreams that meet on magic summer nights,
And hide from hearts that never true love felt.  
A love that without slumber sees no light,
Affection that in daylight is misdealt. 
 
Do thoughts give flowers strength and will to bloom?
Or send sweet fragrance to a lover’s heart?  
For many years thoughts dwelt in hope’s perfume.
Awake, my soul that I may feel love start. 

Then, Cupid pulled his bow and struck my soul.
True love in all its glories came alive.
For in that instant I was fully whole.
And with you, dear, I knew that love could thrive.

Awake and happy, you, my dreams’ envoy,
For life with you has brought my greatest joy.
