Fighting off the strange power

                                                                            Artist: Milena Pavlović Barili
Image: Cupid's Overpowering Stance (here)

Engrossed in wanting to create a masterpiece
Of putting splashes of paint daintily on canvas
'Why am I being stubborn not giving it a miss'
She lamented still trying against the obvious

Fighting off the strange power that overwhelmed
Pulling her away from her resolve so profound
Not realizing the many attempts
Of Cupid's arrow playing havoc in the background

  4. She sure doesn't look disturbed. He could be cupid or a very pesty younger brother.
    Good interpretation. I don't think I could do better.

  7. It seems she did not realize love was trying to get her attention or perhaps, she is well aware and waiting to capture the feeling to share with her beloved.
