Risk Takers

About this crazy love stuff

Ready to play this love game?
This is high stakes betting
Many are rejected, put to shame
And then sent home regretting

Rest a while and cry
If you save up enough tears
You can give another try
Be brave and hide your fears

The wheel again starts spinning
Hold your breath and say your prayers
I've heard tales of people winning
The winners, true love is theirs

Fortune favors the brave or maybe fools rush in ...? Nonetheless love is a risk but who,when faced with potential kismet, refused their destiny in love? I would not ...but we are all different and therein lies The magic. We all win in the end though I do believe... just got to keep spinning the wheel 😉 your poem looks at love from a different perspective which is refreshing..thank you .Caroline 😊

my very best friend who is a multimillionaire now would say since we were in 6th grade "fortune favors the bold". sounds like you. playing with that love stuff is like playing with fire. watch out! you can easily get burned. but the fire is so bright you can't help it. it looks so pretty. sweet day on you Caroline.

It's not quite as bad as Russian Roulette, but love is still a risk. With the former, though, you don't get another chance after a bad day. With the latter, you can always try again.

Ok John. I had to read your review several times before I got it. Nope I don't play Russian Roulette.... I guess somehow I prefer the slow tantalizing bittersweet death. I think they have medicine for it so I don't feel the pain so much. I enjoy your sharp input. Have a superb day! Jeff

I have heard tales as well...I have started to think they are merely myths.
But no risk, no reward...
it's how it is.

Yep. That's how it is. I was in the hospital for 8 months... in that time my girlfriend of 16 years ran off and married some other guy. Guess what?... I'm a big loser. I will play again. Thanks for your review. Friend request on the way to you. Have a great day!

once bitten; twice shy comes to mind
as I read this..but I like the line
if we save up enough tears....
and yes we do try again
another chance at love
gambling our hearts as
high betting stakes

well penned

Wow yes. You get it. This love stuff is serious business. You can get your heart crushed into the ground. I don't think people realize how serious it is. My highest regards to you as always. Have a great day!
