Dear Human,
I must tell you
there are not enough arrows
for those looking for Eros
and more than enough
that missed their mark
discarded by
one or the other, or both
*
I must ration my arrows,
look for the best mark
a certifiable bullseye
for a gardener who tends to love
with hope, patience, faith
strong enough to withstand
sorrow and grief
in a landscape of tomorrow’s
*
If I could convince you to
love and nurture yourself
pick up a discarded shaft
smooth the bend,
straighten the crack
and try once more
I would have plenty of arrows
to set in motion.
Love, Cupid
*
Have a lovely Valentine’s Day weekend with family, friends, or loved ones.

What a hassle for you, but I’m so pleased that you take the time and effort to comment. An aside: are you going to update your website soon or only post on FB?
You have so much going on: your art, photography, recipes, that I sometimes miss them on FB because I check that maybe once per day for five minutes and miss a whole lot.
