Venus and us Cupids Aug. 31, 2013


  

Oh!

To have known her then

That perky, Ambitious

College girl

Gaze fixed on the stars,

A wordsmith

With words spinning

From her sweet

Moist lips,

Wide-eyed

If not bushy-tailed

A Venus flytrap

Between her hips,

A disguised jealous goddess

How unworthy

All those Cupids were,

Stinging themselves

As they fumble over

Words adequate

Enough to please her,

She, already,

Shinning in the night sky,

Raw energy emitted

With each blink

Of her amazing eyes.

How can any mortal man

Resist sacrificing anything,

For one glance of recognition,

Throwing ourselves

At her feet,

Even as she steps over us

we smitten by

our own arrows.
