The Day After

Happy day after, our Cupid’s little arrow was thrust To those with a new true love may it forever last To those whom our little cupid cruelly passed bye .Do not fret all you need is one big chocolate and candy blast What is so great about a heart so fluttering you think you will die Go out and treat yourself to all that is splendid in life One never ever knows what's just around the bend Who needs wanting to cut your heart out with a knife Cupid at times can you to the madhouse send So keep singing and dancing, and paint the town red Be free as a bird and fly upwards alone yet fully content And don’t worry if it is just for sex that you jumped into bed Love brings huge grocery bills, noisy kids, landlords wanting rent Who needs love, and those bloody moonbeams in your head Who needs candlelight, when you're tired and your energy spent Cupid’s arrow can at times hurt and even rip your soul apart Yes so much better to give this love stuff a mighty good pass Or you will find that suddenly you no longer own your heart .

a lovers point an arrow caught, and love will have its way, passions steam and fire brought forth, love trembles all they say ...

Hello Lizzie, I have seen these visions that hide in your rhyme, and felt the pain that does not show. The arrow hold no blame, because every time there is a manipulative person who uses Cupid's bow. Cheers from another 'Liz' Wordancer

Meanwhile back at the ranch, I am intoxicating myself with loads of perfume and wearing colorful scarves...just because of YOU!!! I hope you are doing well...I have a feeling that your footloose and fancy spirit is "painting the town red!" Jealous here....lol.
