The words flow so smooth as silky love Yet......can they once be as real as today. as love falls from lips onto the stage. For whose lips, whose eyes should they be? Can these words be for a love held as one? Or..are they but part of the king’s game. Can words with softness be of one true? Or just be chess, a small pawn and a king? Let not lips speak of love not to be given. Lest hearts feel the pain of loss, rejection Let not a heart be teased into the darkness For hearts are fragile, of tender softness. For love is not a game to play in jest or something given not from the chest And a heart will break if ever taken to a game of silky love now forsaken.

Magnus darling boy this is without doubt one of your utter best, the flow of this couldn’t be bettered. As I’ve mentioned before darling boy you are a poet. This is sooooooo true and real, it touches deep into me today. What can I say except this is utterly wonderful.    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

When the other person is playing a game, and your heart doesn't know it-that's when the pain is real. You did this very well. Nan |

Hi there Magnus it’s Krissy, I seem to be following in my mum’s (Marsha) footsteps because she’s answered this one too. Which probably goes to show we both have excellent taste, this is very very well written I think it’s absolutely super   Love and warm stuff As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |
