Cupid's mistake


I love thee as a hummingbird a flower dost.

Twas your eye that caught cupid's attention.

She prayeth I'd find thee and blossom thy love.

Fain I did anon.

Twas not hard.

In love I fell at dawn.

 

"Thy has daring'st soul. Thy has not?

Thou, however, runneth the other way of a hummingbird's affection.

Wherefore, can't thy love thee as I do ?

 

"Hark hither" thy said.

I interrupted.

"Ere thee says anything, can't thou simply 

appreciate thy's beauty?

The most bravest, intimidated by thou's brown eyes."

 

"I cannot loveth the bird, if I dothn't love the flower" She said.

Confused by cupid's selection said I ,

"Tis what this is ?

A lost competition of love to thy self?

Thou's my moon my darling'st.

I'm thy wolf."

 

But said thee ,

"The wolf hathn't been loyal if thy hath seen the sun,

the most bright star.

Thy moon 'tis pale compared to the sun's beauty."

 

I replied to thee ,

"Thou's my only star, therefore worry not.

The wolf's appearance 'tis a stranger til' night."

 

The mistress' look was puzzled.

"Tis a new experience for me.

I shall push away warmth. I am ill" She said.

"And just like thy moon, I'll hath left unwillingly 

when the sun kisses thou's eyes."

 

"Wrong I shall prove you!" I said.

 

Twas morning and to my love's destination went I.

Just like predicted, she hath left me.

My flower's petals were closed.

 

Twas the moment when I understood, 

the cupid's aim was wrong.

She hath left this world without loving herself...
