Cupid's Couple

*************

I smell love's perfume

I see glittering patterns...

Of Cupid's arrow.


It glides through the air

Like remnants of a stardust-

Almost translucent.


It passes the crowd

Like a shimmering bullet

Aiming for the hit.

***********

It pierces my heart

In a warm, peculiar way;

Strange and oddly sweet.


Struck by a LOVE TALE,

Of the Heaven's Matchmaker-

I still can't believe...

***********

Then you walk by me,

And I swear, the world halted

Right before my eyes.


I see only you;

The background melted away,

The sounds... all muffled.


And with one quick look

Your dark raven eyes met mine

Right there, love begins.
