Do you want to know the truth about Cupid?

Cupid Wears A Mask

Angelic cherub

with face so devin.

Plump dimpled cheeks,

flushed roses and wine

Smooth satin locks

gold, flaxen curls.

lusterous wings

favoring mother of pearl

You float through our lives

piercing with darts

desolate sadness

percieved in our hearts.

You fill us with warmth,

with love, and with joy,

but sometimes I wonder

If we're only your toy.

It seems that's a mask

you wear o'er your face.

Are there horns under there?

Is your facade a disgrace?

For the love you bestow,

does soon fade away.

do you do this on purpose,

is this a game that you play?

In love and then out.

You stab at our hearts

you mess up our lives

with your mischevious art.

You malicious little Imp

Have you nothing better to do?

Can't you for once,

aim straight and aim true?

    Cupid the "malicious little Imp", that is just down right awesome.

    I thought I had read the best Valentine poem a few days ago, THIS is what should be sold on cards world wide.

    I'm going to give this to my wife with a box of baker's chocolate (you know, the unsweetened kind you can't eat.)

    Cupid is a straight shooter up here! People just keep running away so a lot of superficial wounds. Divorce lawyers seem to like that though! lol With impish grin I will leave now!

    I was not aware of Cupid's mask - but I did once meet him blindfolded. The shooting of arrows is child's play. Not much planning involved - and shot at a whim. Innocent of any malicious wrongdoing - rather mischievous - and sometimes a spanking is in order. ♥

    I often think the little imp is so chubby cuz he eats all the chocolates that are rejected by those bad matches. Aim better indeed, you nasty little butterball!
