Cupids Magic

by Shirley Denton

It's that special time of year
to all who love so dear
when two hearts beat as one in perfect harmony
with each embrace or tender kiss lights the fire within
the enchantment of romance evokes with wild desire
encounters so intense sparks the flame
some say cupid is to blame for he shot his arrow into the sky
spreading his magic near and far close to the eastern star
it cascaded and circled the fluffy white clouds in his endless plight
with each sharp prick of his arrow filled me with a raging passion
ardent emotions began to rise as I was smitten by his ocean blue eyes
with each magical kiss we melted into each other's soul
falling more into love's eternal bliss
thanking cupid for his arrow
