Cupids Arrow

When last we spoke 
	An image came

This latest journey 
	The latest challenge 

That will test
	The strength of 

Our RESOLVE to
	Build upon the love

Begun long ago	
	Now re-inspired

Hesitant at first like the 
	Faltering steps of a foal in spring 

Struggling to stand 
	Kicking up its heels 

Now thundering hoofbeats
	Racing toward an

Ever closer
	 finish line
	
Two hearts then 
	Pierced

By arrows from
	A Cupid’s bow

Souls now merged by
	Love in overflow

I was struck 26 years ago and could not be happier with Cupid’s aim.

It is so fun to think about Cupid arrows and romantic (eros) love. Enjoyed!

Thanks, Susannah. Watch for my forthcoming: Birth to Death and Points in Between: A book of poems, perceptions, reflexions, aspiration, and inspiration. A lot more eros to come. Mel
