"who WAS that???" was the question asked,
when I first heard his voice...
I told my heart, "hush, now. Be still..."
as if my heart had a choice.

How could my heart cease its beating
in face of such a sight--though fleeting?
Instead it marched to double-time
at just the thought his eyes meet mine...

His eyes? (His eyes...) beyond describe-
Chianti, smoke, exquisite rhyme...
ability to stop all time,
and in them I would gladly die.

Does he know?
Of course he does.
Does he care?
I know not of
what discourse
runs in his mind
or if he thinks
of me in kind.

I don't believe I'm on his list.
Once again...cupid missed.

*sigh*(of resign) ...
me thinks cupid needs glasses ...
after all baby... ya know ...
love IS blind  
and remember me twin ...
its hard to see after staring at the pretty blue flame of a candle dance..
*winkiewinkie* *S*
love ya me twin
me


Heaven bound on wings of love,
there's so much that you can rise above.
I surrender heart and soul,
sacrificed to a higher goal.

well...have to say I was lucky once...and cupid connected our eyes and he felt the same...you described it perfect.....just love this....course it was star crossed, and not meant to be...so maybe that cupid isn't all he's cracked up to be   hugs
great write

So sad to be
not listed in the eyes
of those we adore
sad songs all

If he says you're not on his list
he doesn't know what a treasure he's missed!!!

Ahh yes, do I ever relate - "I don't believe I'm on his list, once again...cupid missed"

Well penned, cupid doesn't know what he is missing!

Take care,
Melissa~

Sven...big sighs...think I'm just gonna give up. It all just gets to be a bit much sometimes...gonna go hide this Wednesday. and? I suppose it's only fair...I've been known to duck a few arrows myself.

JM...you are so good for my ego     and who knows? shrug, if it were easy? would be boring!

jellybeans...wish I could just say "oh. it's luck...but it feels more personal than that. Like it's all MY fault. But I know YOU know.
Thank you!

Sharon...smiling here...could ya type that a little LOUDER? LOL

AT...touching my spirit again...you cheer me up. I want you to know that. So thank you!

Charisma? You are the sweetest poet. And hard working too, I thank you!

Melissa? If I point him out? Will ya hold him down for me? I'll shoot the damned arrow myself if necessary...rofl..thanks lady!

doreen...yeah, I think he's Santa Claus...and about as real, I suppose. But thanks for your continued friendship. love, harpo

Paula...Okay...you help melissa hold him down? and to hell with the bow...I'll use my bare hands...ROFL...THANKS LUV!

acire...thank you much for reading...and don't be sad. That's my job.  

HUGS TO FORUM.

This is one for my library Karen, If cupid keeps missing maybe we should put in for some glasses for his eyes might need adjusting.
