·TheCrookedPath

Bolt of Cupid, stopped me cold. When she spoke, she drove it deeper. Some would say that it was fate; I just knew I’d found a keeper. Bolt of Cupid, kill me not. Wound me, make it hard to breathe, Leave the bolt, lest I bleed out, Hobbled, lest I try to leave. Bolt of Cupid, struck my heart, Stuck inside what was so fierce. Memories are red lines running, Spread infection from the pierce. Bolt of Cupid, pin me down, Each day planned out by my keeper. I don’t struggle much because, The movements push the barbs in deeper.

TheCrookedPath

Not much to say. I'm a father of four, working to keep my pygmies fat and happy. I have always liked Robert Frost, but a recent book that I'd stumbled across introduced me to John Donne.
