The game of love
Is not what you think
Takes two to tango
Just one to break up
A spring of dreams
Laid barren by
Midsummer’s sun
Sent to cold storage
Deep Winter’s snow
Yesterday’s rose petals
Withered and blown away
The game of love
Flourishes watered by
Faith and hope
Patience and desire
Compromise makes it bloom
The game of love
Not for the faint hearted
Commitment keeps it alive
Weathering storms of doubt
The game of love
Rich pleasure
For those
Willing for
A slow waltz
Not for the faint-hearted is right! The game of love is hard work and compromise. Only works if both are willing to do it. 🙂

Yes, absolutely. I was sort of in a writer’s funk last few days(I won’t call it a writer’s block) as I was busy in some house work resulting in body ache all over. Today after a late breakfast as I was sitting and going over some blog posts, the poem just came to my mind and I wrote it down on my cell phone WordPress app (normally I write my posts using the pc as I find posting from the phone very tedious). It may have taken me barely five minutes and posted without editing. Afterwards I was apprehensive as I do not know how to dance.
