Cupid's Illusion
Cupid’s illusion
It's one charm and unending allure-
The promise of a joy devoid of pain
Contentment and peace; so secure
An illusion - your dream, your bane.
From its delusions of timeless bliss
Time and again, will rear it's head;
A thousand arrows, each with a hiss
Pain zipping, piercing, till joy is dead.
All of yesterday’s loves gone wrong,
Many a fear - shackled loving heart
Bound by misery to the bottom rung
Recalls in a masterpiece of movie art.
You then fear, may never seize to drip
The eyes, with which you daily behold
If, of the other, your heart loses its grip -
The sweet soul to whom you lost hold.
Truly, if you seek its peace in perpetuity
To sail it's happiness’ wave at the crest
You must eternally labour for its gratuity-
A labour that’s pleasing and offers no rest.
