Cupid -Cassanova Poem by ANJALI SINHA

Cupid -Cassanova

Rating: 4.9


Aha I love you! ! ! ! ! !
Ahaa you love me! ! ! ! ! !
Ahaaa you my only love so true! ! ! ! !
Cupid, I know you
You Cassanova,
You con man,
You thief,
You stole my heart.

Wander all you over,
the world, the seas, the oceans,
Carrying love arrows,
Repeat not sorrows,
those words for all.

Just now, --you my love
Tomorrows vernal, - Manju’s love
Day afters brumal, - Sanju’s love
Then autumnal, - Ranju’s love
Then you become whose love?
Can I believe you dear.?

Strange words you utter
All in the name of God.
In the name of God-
-blessed be thou forever,
-you a beautiful ray of light,
-you beautiful creature in sight.

Then in the same breath-
In the name of God-
-you bitch
-you witch
-you harlot
-you starlet
You swear
You tear
Children for you,
You say I bear.

Call her,
your right hand
your handmaid
your girlfriend
your lover
your honey
Call her your wife

And then?

The game is over
Back again to square one
To find another

ALL IN THE NAME OF LOVE

P.S. Not directed at any one - nor is it my personal experience--Just wanted to write something different --- a figment of my imagination. Hope you all will like it.

And we really liked it. Tremendous rhytm, stylistic innovations. Cupid is inevitability of love, Casanova is obsession of love. We could introduce a third character: Don Giovanni, Mozart, you know. We could say: death of love, sure this issue is present as well. However, don't care it a little bit. Let's enjoy that aria where the servant Leporello tells the lover's list of his boss: 'Missy, the catalogue is this...In Spain they already are thousand three'..musical break.

An arrow straight from the bow of Anjali into the heart of Casanova. Where was the court held? However Cupid is entrapped by virtue of his being at the place of crime (sic) . Cupid is human, and casanova an animal? Girls complain and they can only answer!
