Letters to Cupid

In the spirit of love, romance and Valentines Day I had mentioned I would share some of my creative writings.  The following is Part I of II which is actually titled Letters to Eros.  Eros and Psyche have the most amazing love story.  If you are not familiar with Cupid’s tale, you can Wikipedea it here for the short version.  Being a hopeless romantic myself, one who loves with all of her heart and soul, I had written this back in August of 2007 while under the spell of a perfect muse.  Part II shall be posted sometime before Valentines Day.  Enjoy…

Would you bring me Ambrosia?

I would throw myself from a tower to get to the Underworld if it meant you would love me once more, but would I be lucky enough for the tower to guide me and give me direction?

I would walk to Tanaerum and back if only I knew you would be there waiting for me upon my return.

I would carry that golden box back to the Goddess herself if I knew you would be mine at the end of my long journey.

Could I be strong enough not to open it, for I am a mere mortal as she was herself and beauty does not last a lifetime for us mortals…

I would open that golden box to stay beautiful for you if I knew you would be there to wipe the sleep from my face and put it back in the box.

Would you stand in front of a council of the gods and beg for my immortality?

Do you love me in that way?

If only to find a love so deep and so true…

Here’s to hoping we all find that love so deep and so true…
