Cupids Folly

When death is sweeter, than to pang your lovers heart.

For how the sky cries violet moonbeams,
Onto my heart at this hour.
Two ladies dancing in my nights dreams,
Whilst upon my polestar sits a flower.

The choices I refuse to make,
Spurn one lady, love the other.
The effects of thee my heart would break,
Blue it seems my life's true color.

La vie en rose and longing respite,
Nights of cold to supplant.
How cruel when I my own hearts despot,
And love one o'er the other can't.

With no reprieve or terminus in view,
Resign my heart to cupids notion.
Who wantonly his arrows threw,
Thus setting these events in motion.

And if no conclusion reaches he,
Conclusion of real consequence.
Removed this world let me be,
For suffer death of continence.

Men and women find themselves "polyamorous" without willful intent. So few choose the who and when they love, they just often pay the price of admission.

Cupids Arrows are like Stars that glitter in our Heart… Poetry in Motion… gently, Pat

I like the manner and grace of this whole piece, ‘ Resign my heart to cupids notion.
Who wantonly his arrows threw,
Thus setting these events in motion.’

Very eloquent.

Now eloquent is a word that surely any poet can welcomingly appreciate when applied to a poem of theirs.
I am honored thank you.

Shades of The Bard himself! Shakespeare would have loved this to his own credit. You capture that old romance and the torn soul so well. I thought myself well studied.But clearly a greater then I lives in this state. I now to you, my friend.

[M. J. Smith]

Excuse me. It should read,"I now to you..."

[Gideon X. A. Elson]

Your words I fear inflate my ego! Thank you kindly. 😊

[M. J. Smith]

You are most welcome. As to your ego, well, someone will pop it eventually. 😁
