Cupid’s Dart

On cardiac battles and Cupid’s quiver…

Amor – Hans Makart (Painted between 1861 and 1884)

Hey hey, set me free! Stupid Cupid stop picking on me!

Connie Francis, American Singer and Actress

. . .

O Cupid you afflicted creature.

Archer with no aim.

With your bow, Insouciant breacher,

“Lovers” you proclaim.

.

A blindness black, your dull affliction,

Yet your bolts you shoot.

Your breaching cardiac, like surgeon,

Renders pulse kaput.

.

Your quiver, source of human folly,

Also fires bliss.

For whence in love, the world is jolly,

Wars to peace are kissed.

.

It matters little who thou art,

Or what it is you do,

That heart-bound arrow: Cupid’s dart,

It darts its way to you!

. . .
