Cupid's Arrow

"Don't engage yet to romantic love my dear,"
My Father said with a tear
"Yes, Father"
I replied in despair

'Twas afternoon that I found myself in the office room
Wondering of the decision with a loom
He said he loves me and I love him back
But how could I betray my father's pact?

Jean Piaget says "No" but
Freud and Goleman says "Yes"
With thoughts like a story of a complicated plot
I finally decided with a shot

Forgetting about the promise that I made
I let the feelings sigh with relief
So let the boat of emotions row
Because I was shot with the Cupid's arrow

Noz Yam, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
