Game Of Love

Elegant Conversations

The meeting of the minds

elegant, witty conversations

Lives becoming intertwined

affection without reservations

*

Habits and pleasures soon revealed

revealing expectation and desire

Will two hearts be forever sealed

lighting love’s eternal fire?

*

Or will love find another name

disappointment, hurt and longing

Another time it plays the game

pretending trust and true belonging

*

Leaving a ruinous soul behind

fueling emotions of survival

A heart once tender and kind

into bitter - beyond revival

*

Or will there be another path

one with a chance to start again

Becoming the love they need

where pain and healing become friends

*

A lifelong journey for the soul

Searching for deeper understanding

Filling love’s empty tattered soul

With it’s compassion everlasting
