thou shalt not tempt fate
you say holier than thou
as though it were
the eleventh commandment
as though you have never
done anything daring in life

no, tempting fate is not
only for the gods or the fool-hardy
now is all we have anyway
let's take the risk and
fall in love if you will
oh, to feel cupid's dart smart
right in the middle of my heart

what could be more exhilirating
than the feeling of falling,
falling, falling so deeply in love
but no, all you want to talk about
is the wretched consequences
of tempting fate

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Not me. I am easy. I fall in love quickly. I love being in love. It is a fantastic feeling. Of course of all those I have loved there is only one who truly had my heart. Nanette, mother of Patricia and Nickolas.

Well, JerryPat I spent most of my life being in love with love and that's not good. I fell in love too easily and was addicted to romance. I've suffered a lot of heartache because of it. I don't go chasing after love anymore.

Lori-Thank you for your lovely comments. They mean a lot to me.
