Eros penetrates himself

After missing his Mark

On Psyche

Who doesn’t even try to be

Anything but herself

Unaware of her own

Powers

Her beauty blinds

Like an unapproachable sun

Unknowingly

Casting shadows of

Jealousy

In her marriage with Eros

She is caught in the embrace

Of a promise

A moonshine ultimatum

For the affection she received

As if she never gave anything back

That he remains

Unperceived

Concealing her

And his cowardice

From his mother’s

Vanity

Their union sways

On blind faith

And feeling

Senses devoid of sight

Riding on the enraptured

Short-lived night

Until the cock crows

At the break of day

When Eros pulls out

And he leaves

Psyche

Blushing

Almost innocent

With her story still longing
