Stardust sifts from eyes
That once were blind to your guile
Heart crawls back from sleeve
Cupid's wings detach themselves
My love tumbles down to earth

I think there is no way to say it more efficiently and more beautifully. Just perfect and incredibly well matched with the picture!
A true little gem!
I will keep it ...
