he’s a little eros

poor little cupid
sittin’ on a cloud
doesn’t have
a girlfriend
isn’t he allowed?
♥

i’m a lonely angel
he’s a little eros
we could be an item
we could be
each other’s heroes
♥

dear when you flew by me

whistling romantically
you seemed so
debonair and sharp
your hair a windy mess
you almost all undressed

zing! went the strings of my harp! *

♥

repeating in a loop

a melody is haunting me
it follows where i go
it’s amplified
when i’m inside
with lyrics i don’t know

so ba da dee

da doobie doo
it came from some commercial
da skeet marie

do doobie dee
insipid and inertial

la bee li bo
i didn’t know
it was so resolute
with scoopy doo
and tigger too
repeating in a loop
we found a cure

for clinging tunes
it takes concerted effort
we drown them out
with something else

intrinsically no better
it helps to know the lyrics

and the melody by heart
two princes by the spin doctors
is where we always start
