WHEN CUPID’S ARROW GO ASTRAY

Love is so pure and sweet

When two hearts meet.

Bust when Cupid’s arrows…go astray.

A heart yearns,

It soars…then it burns,

And vanishes away.

Two childhood friends

Grew into handsome young men.

As blood brothers, life carried them along

A friendship…they thought…was fortress strong.

The arrows of Cupid pierce the fortress and it falls;

Leaving a dark cloud hanging over the shattered walls.

The girl…swayed by a yearning gnawing at her soul,

Meets one at the altar and the other…her heart…he holds.

A turmoil of emotions…a sibling laid to rest…her world…rent,

She choose stability…she thought,

Over love…which she knew…was as uncertain as her past

As a falling star streaking across the sky in the night,

Heightens the emotions with its brilliant light;

The mystical enchantment and awe of its sudden journey

With all of its glory… it is but only for a moment…then it is gone,

As is love… when the tiny spark never ignites and becomes full blown.
