Cruelest Joke

by joseph santacruz   Feb 21, 2013


Unsteady cupids arrow flies
never to find my hearts bullseye.
Unlucky in love, a game of chance?
lady luck has no hand in true romance.
past stagnant heart, thick fog enshrouded
new mission fertile garden sprouted.
Eyes were shut, now there open
to find my queen this king is hoping.
With fickle cupid I must pick a bone
Its torture to roam this world alone.
My cold mirrors honest reflection
portrays no object for my affection.
The game of love, have and have nots
its time that I connect the dots.
Cupid hear these sad sad words
being alone is for the birds.
Hungry heart seeks love to find
hurry before I lose my mind.
Its no secret late to bloom
my expierienced heart has more room.
I was a dog theres no denying it
I made my bed and now must lie in it.
Wasted lust empty temptation
sentenced to 50 year mandatory pre-love orientation.
Its revealed true loves not just a rumour
Im no longer the clown without sense of humor.
No need for riches or yachts asail
Oh cupid please one lonely female.
I know I made this wish before
history found me a infatuated selfish he-#hore.
To understand love yet alone and heartbroke
It must be cupids cruelest joke!

    I must say it takes careful reading to let this poem sink in, despite the great flow you've got in here. I think it may be the classical(?)/heavy wording. But that's a good thing, sometimes it's good to slow down while observing a piece of art, the pace of your poem allows me to do that. And I think that's exactly what I like about this poem, it has a classic format, rather classic wording, but it has a modern touch. Must be the straightforwardness. The only critique I have is something not very poetry-related, which is the grammar. Just a few small mistakes, if you're willing to hear about them, I can PM you. :) A much enjoyed read. I am usually not much a fan of rhyming poetry, but as of late I am starting to see the beauty of these poems too. I decided it was time to branch out and not only stick to reading freeverse. This poem proved that it was a right choice. Well done!

      Hello
      Thank you for your comments. I realize that my grammar has much to be desired. I attribute that to many many "wasted" years. I have a quote on this website-I am the sum of all my parts.A life in the fast lane existance has surely done some damage to my mind.It has robbed me of some things but It has also provided me with an endless well of ideas and memories to write about. If I could do it all over I would of chose A different path but then again If the queen had balls she'd be the king.I live in a very unusal area: directly in the middle of Los Angeles skid row area.I am the only one left of a very large circle of folks who chose to burn the candle at both ends. Maybe someday I will sit down and correct all the mistakes but for now I try to get the ideas down.I think the rhyming comes from to many Dr. Seuss books in my childhood. Thanks again and have a great day! P.S.- As the huntress do you find what you are looking for? Some times the most elusive things would make me want them more.
