She smiled and called me “stupid”
But in the language of cupid,
I knew it meant “i love you”.
I knew, she knew
She was my sinew
Keeping me together like glue.

But stupid was a cue,
That she longed for a long kiss.
Stupid meant she was stupefied,
By a love that defied
Any known human logic
In the way science was defied by magic.

She called me “stupid” ,
my id stooped,
And there i stood
Admiring the quintessence of perfection,
Unable to move,
Like i just saw Medusa,
But what i saw,
Flawed the goddess Aphrodite.
She was indeed the deity of beauty.

She called me “stupid”
In a voice that irked Lucifer from envy,
So luciferous it was,
It stole the darkness from hell.
She called me “stupid”
And i knew i was going to be
Her only “stupid” forever.
