THESE BEAUTIFUL LOVE
GAMES
Young lovers wisely
say,
“Let’s try it from this
angle,
Maybe something marvelous will happen,
Maybe something marvelous will happen,
Maybe three suns and two
moons
Will roll out
From a hiding place in the body
Our passion has yet to ignite.”
Will roll out
From a hiding place in the body
Our passion has yet to ignite.”
Old lovers say,
“We can do it one more time,
How about from this longitude
And latitude –
“We can do it one more time,
How about from this longitude
And latitude –
Swinging from a rope tied
to the ceiling,
Maybe a part of God
Is still hiding in a corner of your heart
Our devotion has yet to reveal.”
Is still hiding in a corner of your heart
Our devotion has yet to reveal.”
Bottom
line:
Do not stop
playing
These beautiful
Love
Games.
These beautiful
Love
Games.
