THESE BEAUTIFUL LOVE GAMES

Young lovers wisely say,

“Let’s try it from this angle,Maybe something marvelous will happen,

Maybe three suns and two moonsWill roll outFrom a hiding place in the
bodyOur passion has yet to ignite.”

Old lovers say,“We can do it one more time,How about from this longitudeAnd latitude –

Swinging from a rope tied to the ceiling,

Maybe a part of GodIs still hiding in a corner of your heartOur devotion has yet to reveal.”

Bottom line:

Do not stop playingThese beautifulLoveGames.
