Tapping on my window
A tiny Cherub
Pink face
Fluttering wings
Give me entrance human
Of love to you I sing

So I spoke
Fly on in
Rest where ever you may
I will pause my work
Though I scoff at love
Listen to what you say

Shocked
He stuttered
Love is necessary
To exist
Live
Breathe
I pity the mortal
With no love in its heart
What a sad creature you must be

Well Mr cupid
I have listened to you closely
Weighing each and every word
But it seems you have omitted
The other side of love
I will describe it in depth
So it may be heard

The giving of affection
The pain of rejection
Cuts and wounds never heal
Faith tossed aside

Hopes burnt into ashes
Smoke in the air
Lies spoken
Distrust and despair

So direct your aim
At some one else
As I tossed Cupid bow and arrow out the door
Away with your deceiving tongue
Oh false one
Cross my threshold never more

Happy Valentines Day
