Cupids Game
By With love_Crow
Love hides where it shouldn't be
Resting within the palms of thieves
Taking refuge in the hearts of gypsies
Meeting lust within its craft
It moves with cunning and with stealth
Taking the souls of
common wealth
With no intention of good health
Pockets left
empty with a draft
It keep us close, not to the touch
For
then we lose our rational clutch
The truth of it would be too much
And so we rest within its grasp
But to reach out and take
its hand
To take a chance we can't withstand
Might send us back
in reprimand
And leave us with an empty flask
It's both
venomous and bittersweet
Causing our limbs to throb in heat
But
in this game, love can't be beat
No matter how we wear our masks
We pay for lust to even the score
Finding not love in a common
whore
And it laughs, for it has won the war
But we make the
game an enjoyable task

You gave love so many different faces and forms in this piece. It comes across as a double-edged blade, what can bring us the most pleasure can also cause us the most pain; The heart tends to amplify things in such a way. it also helped me sort through some thoughts, great write.

Hehe, very funny how very complicated lust can be neh? Great rhyme on this and I love how the words were chosen to create the hands image. Nice!

That just about covers it I'd guess, sometime you win and then there are those other times. The game of life perhaps, cheers!
