Arrows of Love

These arrows you shoot, of love

Sharp tips, emit sparks of poison
On hands, fumbling with rules

Sharp tips, drip drops of honey
On a heart, keeping its smile

These arrows you shoot, of love

Care not for holding flags, of virtue
Care not for wearing rags, of wrong

Flags of pride, become rags
Rags washed, become not flags

These arrows you shoot, of love

Care not for speaking truths, wise
Care not for losing lies, of pretence

Truths worn rigid, become lies
Lies undressed, bring no truths

These arrows you shoot, of love

Care not for thick muscles, of action
Care not for rusty layers, of sloth

Muscles unused, become rust
Rust scraped off, make not muscles

These arrows you shoot, of love

Care not for words, spoken sweet
Care not for silence, held dormant

Words unfelt, become silence
Silence shaken, creates no words

These arrows you shoot, of love
Care not for forms or shape
Care not for time or distance

These arrows, bring a love
timeless, formless, eternal
