Devotion has been my occupation all these years. Once Eros came to me accompanied by Cupid. Cupid, playing with his arrow and bow, smiled at me and told me that I had been his best target all these years. He smiled and so did Eros. Eros put his hand on my shoulder and told me softly and mildly " Keep on loving son. Love is the only answer and will be the answer to everything!!" Cupid burst into laughter "Love is the only answer. Of course it is and will be? How better mankind could be entertained than this. Manipulation of an unearthly heaven for mankind, never giving him a chance to get into it. That's is fantastic." Eros kept looking into my eyes and lowered his head and told "Cupid you have been the one entertained mostly with such a genius manipulation. Isn't it true my friend?" My heart was heavy. I thought of her and I did not have any idea where she was. She was my sweet devotion. She was the only reason I lived all those years. She was my sweet suffering and pain. She appeared unexpectedly wearing a white gown and a wreath of white bud decorated it. She was not well as I reminded her. She has tears in eyes. She stunned Cupid and Eros as she appeared. Eros called the scene an absolute purity and innocence. I grinned. Cupid sat on a stone near him and dropped his instruments on the ground. She turned around for a while. She was not in her mind. Something might have happened to her. Her hand, covered by the sleeves of the white gown, suddenly appeared and she smiled venomously. She had a heart, bleeding heart in her hand. Who was it for? Cupid stood up. Eros looked at me and touched my chest. I felt pain inside. She threw it away and looked at me innocently. She began hopping and bouncing as she turned back to us. There was fog at the end of the dusty road. She hopped toward it. A horse could be heard approaching. A black horse appeared and the black rider on it screamed as she tried to ran away from him. She cried for help. We were all stunned. She begged for forgiveness. From whom? The black rider grasped her and all faded in the dark while screeching and screaming. Cupid flew away and Eros lowered his head disgracefully and indecently and walked away. I felt light behind me. A shining figure like a saint appeared cheerfully springing to and fro and suddenly stood beside me as if she had never understood my presence there around. She greeted me and looked at the empty black bleeding hole on my chest and laughed. She searched around and picked a stone, brought it to me and looked at it and the hole on my chest for a while and put it suddenly into the hole. It was so painful, biting and burning that made me to kneel down. She picked me up and hooked her fragile and frail hands around my neck and murmured in my ear:
"Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove,
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
Woods, or steepy mountain yields."
