Cupid's Dart

[romantic sweetheart]

There, her hand upon the tree

Oh, she looks so melancholy

She sits and weeps bitterly

In her sorrow she does not see me

 

I am here, poor tragic soul

I am here, today and tomorrow

Your pain has taken its toll

On a body and face so fragile

 

But I wait and weep nonetheless

I wait for one little caress

Or to kiss the hem of your dress

I wait under such distress

 

Beauty, how is it you cry?

Both of your fair eyes never dry?

Your heart heaving sigh after sigh?

Your wings that won't ever fly?

 

You weep to angels unseen

Spirits borne on soft wings

Oh, come to me in between

The lulls of mournful musings

 

I am flesh, and flesh is real

I have arms to make you feel

Nestled warm; forget the chill

Hear the words that quickly heal

 

Beauty, underneath the pain

In all the outpouring of rain

As mountains fall and sunlight wanes

Through loss no one can explain

 

Here am I, your stable heart

And a vow to never part

From a soul as fair as art

Straight and true as Cupid's dart

 

Here am I, yours for the taking

Born to end your heart-aching

Fashioned from sweet love-making

To kiss beauty's tender awaking

 

There, she looks to the dying day

Fair one, look to me, I pray

Bless me on my way

Bless me with sunsets of May

 

One day we might meet again

When pain is on the mend

And hearts stronger defend

A love with no end

 

Till then I wait for spring

For happy and blooming things

For your heart's safe-keeping

And the last of our weeping

[ShySoul]

Without a doubt you are the most poetic soul I've ever known. Beauty, pain, lost, sorrow, hope, longing, love.... all beautifully portrayed in your work. I admire you in so many ways. Hope all is well and you find that love without end, putting an end to the weeping.
