It All Depends On Chances

It All Depends On Chances


It all depends on chances

And love may be a help 

Or it may break a heart

In sheer coincidence

Who knows what certainty

Resides in misty glances?



It's like the toughest game:

Today

With passion trembling 

precarious ways to go

Tomorrow

What the deal may be

You may not want to know!



And in a hundred years

When we find happiness

On a bewitching tier

From a surreal sphere

A moment debonair

To soothe a troubled mind 

Would be indeed a rare find!



Persistence!  Is it wise?

Who knows the exact mapping

Of a heart with signals crossed?



You're at a total loss

Unless there's a surrender

Of lips that start to quiver

And bodies to entwine

In soft, seductive moonshine!



To delicately balance

The ups and downs of romance

In seasons of suspicion

May take an intermission

Or maybe an omission

For stories to go on

It all depends on chances!
