Love Laughs

Love Laughs Love laughs at each and all As with the heart it plays Entreating you to fall In subtle succinct ways The whisper in the ear That little nothingness Sly messages unclear Invade the subconscious It uses every ruse In its little book Leaves you vital clues Entices you to look You like what you are seeing The way it makes you feel It brings you into being Even if unreal You see the sideways glance You catch the sultry stare As purposeful as chance Love laughs and begs you dare A word seems out of place Instinctively you trust You know you should not chase But then you know you must You think you’ve seen it all You think you’re to mature Yet still it does enthral You can’t resist the lure Once you’re on the hook You bow to each demand Love laughs at its good luck Has you, at its command And there is no escape Even for the strong For it, encapsulates All… for which you long.
