Eros's Arrow

November 2, 2018
By Anonymous

His cold fingers stretched the bow

as I stood in place.

He let go, and I was

released,

the wind whistling beside me as I neared my wistful victim.  

“Please spare me Olympus,” I cry,

ready to strike on my hapless target

like a snake approaching a blind mouse.

And I land, my target entranced.

I am but a Trojan horse,

deceiving my host with the gift that kills,

the promise that never fulfills.       

Love.
