Awakened from a dreamy sleep Strange visions in my mind, As if I had just visited Another place or time. So I closed my eyes to recreate All that I had seen Which left my mind to contemplate What this could surely mean. Wings, as has an angel, But on the body of a child Who seemed a bit mischievous And a little wild; For quivered shafts were flying Form his golden bow Which caught his victims unaware Who appeared to like it so. He giggled as he readied Another fiery dart. Drew his bow then quickly turned And aimed it at my heart! He paused but for a moment, As if to let me know, That I would soon be in his power And then he let it go! I stepped aside and caught it, Before it found its mark. Then with all my strength, threw it back Which pierced him in the heart. Immediately, his countenance Changed, to my surprise. He cried out the name of Phyche Then quickly vanished before my eyes. At that, my dream had ended. But now just to let you know, I need not Cupid�s arrow To know I love you so! Douglas Fletcher 2/10/2005 |
