Lucky In Love

Unlucky in cards 
Lucky in Love 
  Is the saying
Show me the bards
And the light from above
   I began braying

Hopes and dreams cast asunder
My heart a literal punching bag
   For dishonesty
I said love is a blunder
Made by fools selling ads in a mag
   Sadness was my destiny

But then I met her

Our meeting was innocent enough
We chatted carefully
   Our caution well founded
But love was no bluff
We chatted plentifully 
    Our Love abounded

Once again I was struck 
Her very glance was plenty
    I wanted more 
I was gifted with lady luck
Granting me with the greatest girl among many
    The angels said it was amore

So here I sit
In the arms of love
    I have fallen fast
But I enjoy all of it
As I sit with my dove
    Willing to make it last
