Cupid's Little Arrow

I scoffed at Cupid
And his gentle art
Until the sting of
His infamous dart!
I was happy
Without a care
The sun beat warm
Upon my face
Life was good
My soul at rest
'til Cupid loosed his dart
At my innocent breast
My peace vanished
Without a trace
As the barb dug in
My most secret place
I was transported
And all was bliss
As I revelled in
Each bounteous kiss
I basked in the warmth
Of my lover's arms
I extolled in verse
Each of her charms
And marvelled my luck
'til shortly after
A chance remark
And mocking laughter
About a sorry cluck
Who failed to see
What he enjoyed
She gave to all for free!
With Cupid's veil
Ripped from my eyes
There's a wave of pain
And none to heed my cries
The lady's lost her sparkle
If indeed there ever was
And stands revealed, a drab
Bowing to male applause.
Epilogue
I chance to see her
Out and about
Frequenting places
Where men hang out
A regretful twinge
Claws at my heart
For a love lost
Now we're apart
If the mischievous
Imp should chance to note
A lonely figure
Trudging by the moat
And lofts another dart
I'd gladly bare my chest
And invite the shaft
To seek out my breast
(For, I'll not deny)
I miss those days
When love was sweet
And I worshiped
At my love's feet
