Heads You Win.... Tails I Lose Stakes were high right from the start When you dealt the cards I dealt my heart Caution I had to disregard You were a one armed bandit That would ride into town Waiting till street lamps lit A heart to steal, when sun goes down A roll of the dice May leave me in shambles Yes, a huge sacrifice Because love is a gamble It’s just a matter of time I know it is not me you choose So go ahead, throw the dime Heads you win, tails I lose Marina Mar 31/2000 |

If I can get "head"....I win...If I can get some tail....I still win?.....but either way, I can win by reading your nicely done poem! |

Leave it to Toe for an erotic interpretation. My interpretation is a very clever verse, so well written. Loved it Liz Love you too, Toe |

Seems that way sometimes. Someone told me love comes when you least expect it...I think thats the way the wins come in Las Vegas also. Makes me think love is like the Candid camera show...you never know when you least expect it...smile you're on candid camera. James |

Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose...but we'll never find out unless we're willing to take the gamble  |

marina girl this one is so great...love the lucky in love metaphors, very creative and theres lots of truth in this.. very nice work... take care jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |
