Actors in Love

Ah romance — such an elevated form of make-believe, with promises and roses that are rarely kept. Two players, both knowing, smiles just as wily, each coming closer, each stinging a lie. They say love’s a puzzle, some misty dance, but more likely it feels like an enterprise, a turn – a wink and a promise neither has any right to make, only two clever souls with a ruse to follow.

Dear Ramon, "actors in love" (I adore the title), captures the deceptive illusion of romantic performers, instead of the devotion of romantic partners, where love is more strategy and heart-less gestures than genuine connection and heartfelt affectionate. Splendid poetry! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
