Cupid and his bow

English poem by: Raeesa Saint

Theme: Love

 

He came into her world and knocked her off her feet.

Like a puzzle’s final piece, he made her complete.

She knows she isn’t perfect, but he makes her feel as though she is.

She does the same for him; for he is hers, and she is his.

 

The odds may be against them, the world not on their side,

But they love each other through it all, with a fierce, ferocious pride.

A love like that is meant to last; after all, how could it not

when their hearts were pierced by Cupid, with a perfect arrow shot?

Traditional grave burials and flame-based cremation have been the norm since time immemorial. However, very few people in South Africa knows about Aquamation, also known as water-based cremation. This is changing as more people get to be empowered with knowledge as it gives us a chance to choose from what is widely available.
