CONVERSING WITH CUPID I climbed a great mountain to challenge the gods On my perilous journey I've defied all the odds Upon reaching the summit they asked whom I seek The one you call Cupid with him I must speak They could tell I was irked judging from my inflection Shifting their gaze they gave me the direction I walked through the arches of brilliant white stone Then finally I found him just sitting alone There you are Cupid I think we should talk Looking perplexed I continued to squawk What is this great love that you constantly tout For love is one thing that I live without I told him my story and all of my pain And how it was love that drove me insane He listened politely to things I did say Then uttered these words which blew me away To live without love is really not living With no one to share or take part in your giving No soft tender hand to gently caress you Or when you should sneeze to just say God bless you You speak of your loss and how you have suffered Locked tight in your shell that keeps you so buffered From the whole world of which you are finished But know this right now it's your heart that's diminished For love you now say you can live without Sitting alone while you sniffle and pout You're fooling yourself you must now admit Because it was you who decided to quit What shall I then do to me you inquire To find a pure heart to love and inspire Search deep in your soul and you'll find the answer To win the true love of your soft spoken dancer But to continue your trek building castles of sand Alone you will be with no helping hand So mark my words now for there will come a day When the oceans will rise and wash them away After he had finished I sat back and thought To look from his perspective is what I did not I created my shell out of anger and fright But to think of it now I know that he's right Thank you dear Cupid for what you have said Your words I will carry with me to my bed Tomorrow I see will be so much brighter For living with love only makes a heart lighter And now as I leave I feel kind of stupid Having spent time conversing with Cupid He shattered my shell and forced me to see That a man full of love is all I should be G.A.

Greg- This is simply awesome. What a beautiful, thought-provoking, action-invoking piece. From the heart of Florida to the coast of Huntington Beach, CA here's hoping you have a wonderful day. Huntington Beach was the destination of my first visit to California some 12 years ago and have since returned some four times. It is a lovely area. Glad to welcome you to the pages of Passion's poets. Hope to see more of your wonderful work. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Smart guy, that Cupid! "It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." |

The journey to inner fulfillment has begun. Admitting and acknowledging love is the vital first step. Without we wither and die a slow and painful death... A conversation with cupid, Such wisdom he did bestow, But still you find yourself alone, It hurts this letting go. Lessons I too have learned, Such a gift this love and understanding, Don't settle for a little, Find the love of your life and all joys are remaining. Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely. ~Isis~ (Sovereign of the Spirit) |
