Cupid's Letter To Athena's Daughter Poem by Vincent Igwilo

Having spent almost all my life
I now feel fulfilled
Always in the midst of my admirer called Aphrodite by earth dwellers
She makes my head a spinning wheel by singing praises of how handsome
I have come to be

But lo that great memory from the war of gods in Olympus
Kept lingering on my now earthly mind
Am shocked on how feeble I have become,
Who made the ladies flinch at my godly gaze

Oh! That memory that dearly hunts my soul
Of how I came to your rescue,
As a princess in distress
And how the chills spread through me when your arm was locked on mine

Why did the earth came to an halt
And why did the rivers lose their gift of flux
Wonder I, why my heart race faster when you look at me

I know this effect does not come from your wisdom neither does it come from your looks
But through my godly knowledge
I perceive thee a damsel, at whose sight I turn human.
