Cupids Loveless Arrow

Cupid spotted me 
From quite far away 
A round little fellow
Boisterous unfettered sway
Upon his head 
A crown of poison oak
A simple dress of 
Toga and a cloak
His arrows were 
A putrid green
Quite unlike the 
Stories and photos I had seen
He fitted an arrow 
To his little bow
Set for my direction
But little did I know
I felt it pierce my heart
It knocked me to the ground
Laughter and tears 
A truly hapless clown
No love I felt 
Remorse and pain
Loss and grief 
Nothing to gain
But why had he 
Done this?
Where had he gone?
Should I take a pill
To bring me up?
Or simply stay down?
Who do I ask?
Where do I go?
Explain this to my Dr.?
I would say no
Hallucination a majic 
Mushroom trick
I truly don't know
I only took a lick

it wasn't "Cupid" dear poet...when Cupid sticks ya with one of those love potion'd arrows, you'll have much more beautiful things to write about...have a wonderful weekend....much love, james
