The Arrow Poem by Barry Middleton
The Arrow
she shot an arrow to my heart
and I was underneath her spell
my courage gone along with will
and strength that I could not compel
I cannot blame her cruel attack
I wore no armor for my soul
for I was hungry for her love
with appetites beyond control
but I did learn the lesson well
and now I guard my tears and grief
no one can pierce my heart again
though loneliness is strange relief
The misfortunate and its consecuencies in a love's affair so accurately painted!
Thank you Dimitrios. Indeed I have had several of those unfortunate encounters but they were all worth it I guess.
