Dear Cupid

"Oh Cupid, I am but a mere mortal
that calls you, bringing a small proposal
Please do something for me
that I hope would bring a better future to be

The winds sings her name in such beautiful tune
As I listen to the song all afternoon
Every night her voice carved me a huge smile
how wonderful this feeling I haven't felt for a while

Oh Cupid sway her with your wine of hearts
whisper her my name in your many arts
paralyze her with your potion
make her think of me in her every motion

I have not the luxury to see
But every picture and every word of her made me glee
Eyes like stars that shines in the sky
a smile like the crescent moon covering her shy

Her hair so beautiful as the lush earth
compliments the face that shines like the sun
Oh Cupid, what have you done?

No Roses, Daisies, nor Lilies compare to her beauty
as her voice so soft and lovely
A maiden so strong that could hold a sword an shield
yet to see her dance convinced me there are no arms I need to wield

Oh Cupid make my name music to her ears
sing my letters and make her see them like flowers in her eyes

Steal away Morpheus' drink of dreams
and mix it with a potion of passion
shine her with Aphrodite's beam of gleams
but don't give her Enigma's poison of confusion

I shall welcome her with Apollo's warmth
and embrace her as Athena keeps us from harm
throw her with your darts of romance
as you've shook my heart with her voice to dance

Oh Cupid I will keep her dearly
as we brought differences voluntarily
make her look at me with divine clarity
shoot her with your arrow of love

point her to me
give her to me
I would not surrneder to non any
If i could have her heart for me and me only"
