Apollo bragged to Cupid once, that his bow was so much bigger.
So Cupid shot Apollo, to prove his darts were not so meager.
Thus Apollo sullies Cupid and insults his very marrow.
The boy-god then in a fit of rage, shoots off his golden arrow
The bolt finds its mark, it doesn't miss, Apollos heart once free.
Is now enraptured by the very first person he should see.

Apollo in erotic pain dreams now of Ladon's daughter.
Daphne nymph of wells and rain and all forms of fresh water.
Such lust that Apollo burns with grief, could not let Daphne go.
Because it was that Cupid merely shot him with his bow.

Cupid now however, with darts as base as lead,
Put the 'fear of loving' into Daphne's virgin head.
She suffered from his poisoned dart, his dart of fierce rejection.
To punish Apollo for his voice, which caused so much dejection.

Apollo so affected was persuant, to Daphne's beauty.
His love for her, a golden gown, more potent than his duty.
But Daphne sworn to chastity, a virgin always be.
With incantations of her soul seduced the Laural Tree.

So just as Apollo is about to snare, with all his amorous advances.
Daphne quickly casts her spell, turns into Laural Branches.
The Laural Tree her sanctuary becomes her Laural prison.
Apollo therefore weeps alone, burns now with eroticism.

But this is not the reason, Cupid stupified is seen,
By accident he struck himself by his very own bolt, it seemed.
Cupid now is overpowered by lust and loves attraction.
Forced to stalk Psyche day and night, for sexual interaction.

At night Cupid visits Psyches bed, Mesmerized by her soul.
Each dawn when she awakens he runs like a frightened foal.
Until one day Psyche bade him stay, by trickery to lay.
For she did not fear Cupids love, but planned her wedding day.
once a mortal soul was she, now wed, passes through immortal door.
While Cupid could never have loved another, but the very first he saw.

So Cupid shot himself which was an accidental fate.
To suffer lust as Apollo had, through his own regretful hate.
Love and attraction and desire we all know, Landed on Cupid from his very own bow.
Therefore Cupid was stupid by intrinsic law. Pricking himself was his own foolish flaw.
