Cherubaphobia

Flowers, trees and bumblebees
pollinate and permeate
throughout the heart
On Valentine's Day.

Retribution
for the lack of love's distribution
comes hard to the vacant institution
of marriage
On Valentine's Day.

Oh the damn putrid cupid
trying so hard with vain
to spear me again
On Valentine's Day.

Apathetic cherubs
full of love's hubbub
will spare me this pain
On Valentine's Day.
