Fighting off the strange power

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
