The Laureate-My Valentine

Oh Eros, your arrows must fly to her true,
and thoughts of love contain.
The first sight she sees as barb breaks through
must will her this ardent swain.
A shaft sent awry, if someone’s nearby,
could send her love off to another.
A gaze at a mirror with someone else near her
and she just might bed her half-brother.
This worry, I think, could drive me to drink…
I question the skill of your aim.
The stupid doubt Cupid, but I tend to think,
I’ll pray this terse verse fans a flame.
