With a gentle flap of his wings He settles on a branch Unseen by mortal eyes The immortal retrieves an arrow from his quiver
He looks down his bow Looking for someone, anyone That might need a shot to the heart To give them courage to confess the feelings this cherubic angel is known for
As he scans the horizon He spies them sitting side by side Oblivious to their surroundings They only have eyes for each other
The Roman God of Love Puts his arrow to his bow He draws his arm back and prepares to shoot He strains his ears to listen for a perfect moment to strike
And with a widening of the eyes And a sharp intake of breath He lowers his weapon And with a smile and a voice not meant for earthly ears, he says "I am the Son of Venus. I am the god of love and I am not needed here. True love has triumphed once again."
With a mighty beat of his wings He shoots into the sky Leaving the lovers whose hearts the husband of Psyche heard, beating in time with each other Hearts filled with the flames of love that needed no help from Cupid
To all the lovers out there who have found the person that their heart beats for and having their love reciprocated by that person.
Also to everyone who has yet to find their one. Don't despair.
