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!
. . .
