Cupid enters the world
to play with hearts
and unsuspecting people
until his fancy
finds fulfilment,
but smitten by the
glowing earth, he falls
a prey to his own fancies,
decides to dwell here,
sharing his charm and art
with the most deserving of all
You listen to my ramblings
with wonder and respect
that no one has accorded me
Your cast down eyes
and faraway look
imply a strange proximity
You see beauty
in my plain countenance
and depth
in my shallow eyes
I marvel at my fortune
and remain obliged
to cupid for choosing me
out of the millions
