Notes About The Poem

Cupid's Arrows

Cupid's Arrows

Blush me shy when in her presence,
Distraught, sore with apprehension;
Hearten me with a melody
To soothe teenage anxiety.

Planned our meeting, rehearsed my part;
I fear Cupid drawing the worst
Of the shot arrow’s blunt, lead tip
Dissolving our relationship.

Madly in love, I pray it smart
From the quiver withdrawn the dart
With gold point and extremely sharp
Hitting the mark that is her heart.

Debonair dashing I fondly
Take her in my arms and kiss her
And whisper marriage proposal
And then await her betrothal.
