Love Is...

                                                                                     Love is like a wheel of chance, it's all luck of the draw. Depends on fate & circumstance, and nature's fickle law. The Wheel of Love spins not for all, (for others more than twice). We gamble love will hear our call, but Love throws loaded dice. Love is like a ship's lifeboat that keeps you safe & warm. On sea of Love it stays afloat... Love's calm before the storm. For like a wave it starts quite slow, then builds to raging force. To crush itself from its own flow, until it runs its course. Love is like a bird in flight. Love's heart takes to the air. It reaches unimagined height, that others would not dare. But when Love's lost, the heart descends. Heart loses flight's desire. Heart's altitude on Love depends. Flight ends when Love expires. Love is like a roaring fire that burns out of control. As lovers secretly conspire, the flames of passion grow. They spend a night in sinful lust behind their spouses back. They share their lust... but not their trust, for trust they sorely lack. Love is like a forceful gale that causes Love's debris, to hurl itself upon the sail and drown in Love's lost sea. But Love is also but a game, a game not all will win, And without Love our life's too tame. So let the game begin!

Additional Notes:
Firstly, I would like to say that i purposely capitalized "Love". Next, let me say that you "punctuation perfectionists" are gonna have a FIELD day with this one !!!...LOL In all seriousness, i tried diligently to punctuate properly. NOW all I have to do is wait to see just how well i did, (or did NOT do...which is MORE likely:) Welcome all critiquers... do your worst so that ONE day, i may do my best:) You Do give me much insight to improve !!
