Is it too late for a Valentine?

STUPID CUPID

(a Valentine’s poem by LCF 2016)

Your arrows are dull little boy

Your bow is now merely a toy.

Can’t kill a dove

Much less inject love

Into a heart that you aimed to destroy.

Your shot fell too short to stick in

Love without forgiveness, a sin.

Your silver lined puffs

Smashed into the bluff,

Diverted by sudden cold winds.

Cease fire! This heart you’ll not pierce;

Its shell has grown thick, its beat fierce.

No longer played fool

Or slave to love’s rule

The storm ends, the sky at last clears.

    While it's true that my arrow is dull

    And you've grown a bit thick in the hull

    Don't give up just yet

    You've a soft-spot, I'll bet

    So the next time... I'll aim for your skull.

    I read this before.

    it is so good I'll remember it forever.

    It is a great insult against Cupid.

    You can post this every month until it sinks in.

    For you LC, it's never to late. In fact, 24/7/365 with maybe one day off........ha ha

    This was one of your best with a cadence that was nearly symmetrical, and an

    ideal rhyme pattern that added humor to romanticism. Love is love, but sometimes

    it's not the right love, because relationships take more than love, even friendships.

    I love you. Best always and in 2017. Thomas
