Sister, my game is life on my terms. Brother, my game is terms on my life. Two people looking, yearning and lying a lot Each one playing a part practiced, recited, and lived In another time countless destinies ago. If I told you about love would you care? If I loved you without telling would you know? The game goes on.
Everyone shrieking I don’t play games, at half time.Back court presses as images pass themselves off as realities And realities go unnoticed save a few who are too tired for the third quarter. Truth is the most valuable player and everyone thinks he’s a promising newcomer.
Many understand the rudiments of basketball. Isn’t life a fast break, four quarter game? Cheered by some, booed by others and the score Forgotten next week, save by a few.

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
