Grieving Heart

On Valentine's day A grieving heart Cupid approached and thus It spoke: "Come, oh Cupid, You winged child of Venus and Mercury, come and tell me, once more, why should I, willingly, offer myself as a target again for your sharp arrows of love to practice on?" "Have you forgotten the times your sweet arrows have failed to keep their promises of bliss but instead have brought me lots of excruciating pain?" Surprised Cupid, Looked at the complaining heart and austerely thus Replied: " Oh, you foolish heart First, you ought to know that the target my arrows never miss and if sometimes seems that they do so please don't assume that it is my mistake for I always aim at the target you, yourself, so enthusiastically to me present each time declaring your every infatuation as your eternal love to be however, if you had avoided this tactic and more cautious you were I assure you that alien grief to you would have forever remained!" © Demetrios Trifiatis 14 February 2019 * For each one of us, our Lord has chosen someone special, so happy us to make. Happy Valentine!
