Cupid's Broken Bow

Oh cupid hast thine arrows pierced the wrong ones?
Did someone shake you when you were aiming?
hast thou an eye to see whither thine arrow goest
I am deeply lost within this mystery

Misery of miseries is the thorny
bed wherein this bleeding heart lays
Cupid my love has disappointed me once again
her heart as cold as the blood in her veins

cupid oh cupid, lend thine ear unto my hopeless cry

sweat drips into these bloodshot eyes
what have you done? she is as cruel as my fate with her
Oh how I hate the sin but I love the sinner
I hate her lies but she is the liar I certainly love

Harps and violins are my company at night
sad songs of grief ,poems bring no delight
this is the marriage of heaven and hell, 
an unending plight

Cupid has thou an ear to lend unto this desperate man
her voice is as sickening as the whining pig at the slaughter
complaining of how empty the glass is , missing only half portion

So cold those icy fingers that wrap around my neck
so seductive , those serpent's eyes offering this rotten apple
"eat my love, for it is pleasing to the eyes, therefore good to eat"
I love her, so I eat, I muscle it down to dissolve in my stomach

Oh cupid she is the means to my end
tonight we shall fall,
this is my impending dread
I pray ye shall not wake me
your efforts will be in vain
tonight we shall fall
she is the means to my end

**I love her, so I eat, I muscle it down to dissove in my stomach...** that alone says so much!
sooooo sad, I love the free verse and flow... lots of conviction goin on with these lines, confessing what is... but wanting what its not. GREAT READ WARREN!!

For one so young, you write with the guided hand of a classicist, well penned and an emphasis on the descriptive zoe of paraphrasing, well done

[brenda]

[Raven Starhawk]

Excellent poem that purges so much into it that I feel attached to it somehow.

[Coyote Poetry]

A very good poem. Cupid hold a lot of mystery. He can bring out the emotion of love gain and lost. I like the story and the way you ended this poem. Thank you for a excellent poem.
