Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

Love's the Only Game

Commitment never fazed me
I longed to touch the flame,
Passion, need, lust, it all.
Love's the only game.

That first flush, the heady rush
There's nothing to compare,
Life is a truly wondrous thing
When love is in the air.

Oh, how the world it shrinks
When existence means just two.
In my world nothing matters,
Except that I'm with you.
