Ode to Cupid



O’ Love! Many crimes in thy name have shed

The virgin blood of Faith - in times of lore

Leaving behind but one crimson track that read:

“True love, my love, is there no more!”



“For those  who still believe in me”,

Says Love, “should but that track ignore,

And follow me, beyond the dead

To live and love for ever more!”



“Can that be love? Can this be true?”

Would like to ask the faithful hearts,

“For, if you know – you really do,

How come you still believe in darts?”

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The question addressed to Cupid still stands.
