Cupid's Arrow Poem by PHUMLA KHANYILE

God of love see me now
Wipe my tears, they blind
Shoot me with your arrow of love
I've lowered my guard this time

God of love smile at me
For how long shall your arrow miss?
Don't you care I cry at night
Unto a coil unconfined

Lord of Love, oh sweet Amor
I've watched them go
I've waited post my time
Why can't you find my true love?

Am growing impatient
My heart is hopeless
My nights are sleepless
I here lie helpless

Dare not turn a blind eye
To the pleas of a breaking heart
Nor mock me with empty words
I need a genuine love

Oh God of love
Dear son of Venus
With your bow and arrow
Infect me with sweet pains of love

I stand yearning, wishing
Wondering in waiting
Time fast passing
Longing unending
