Love Isn't A Game

In collaboration with YanZeros...

Tiles cracking, the concrete surface in mild dew,

storms raging, my mind blowing, having no clue!

Your words fit perfectly; astonished ... in awe!

My life was a mess 'til you came, out of the blue.

I feel that I can easily be honest,  

you are the one I love, don't be astonished! 

My lone cracked heart has now started to be healed.

I know, baby, from me nothing is left concealed.

Please accept it you really are beautiful. 

If I do, will you accept, for each other, we are suitable?

But your month's in July while I'm December... 

sigh... that rising passion in dying ember.

I do care for you, why are you not afraid?

Oh cruel, cruel man, it’s my heart you invade!

I surrender with no question; love isn't a game...

'twas, but now it ignited like a flame.

Burn my soul, drive me away closer to you. 

I'm already here, awaiting your touch, beside you.

Been like counting billion night stars waiting for you; 

now I can spend an eternity just looking ... at you.

Methinks this might have been where honeyed glue melded two beautiful minds. Lovely poetry, poetry of love.. collaboration more than fine.

'.. love isn't a game... ' ( whilst spoken by one person, the entire poem is of Love, by Love; thus, no preference for a single voice selected!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you for your lovely words on this collab, Emma! Glad you like it (:

[emmajoy]

Had a wonderful time reading your collaborations, a a true picnic! Must away.. x

[Lorry]

It isn't a game, it is an adventure just waiting to begin, and it all starts with that look that never ends. Great collab, feels smooth when the writers change and take turns at alternate lines, would have been hard to tell it was a collab without you saying, so great job guys :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Well haha! Should have made the lines speak out for themselves by changing colours :p
Thank you, Nemo! Your appreciation means a lot :)

[Lorry]

A pleasure :)

[YanZeros]

Thank you Nemo... :)

[Lorry]

And you are very welcome too. Like the colour changes btw :)

[Giulia King]

Great job to the both of you!
"Been like counting billion night stars waiting for you" Great line

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you Gullia! Although that line was written by Yan, I too loved it! Thank you for liking our efforts 😊

[YanZeros]

Thank you Gullia King glad you enjoyed it too! This young lady right here... yes I am talking to you Yumna Is so talented. :)

[Giulia King]

She really is, and so are you!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Lol blushing here! So are you Ricco and Gullia 💜

[YanZeros]

It's my pleasure and thank you you two! :)

[YanZeros]

Love is about connecting and allowing that connection to happen.. This is just so random trying to develop a plot. You are so good Yumna! I am defeated by this poetry game I started with you! Every line of reply you wrote has painted to why love isn't a game! Okay now I'm dragging my heart back to its rightful place. :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Okay now I'm cringing 'cause I just read only what I wrote!! It seems to be dripping with love 😂😂
Makes me wonder if I was high 😂😂😂
I did enjoy this poetry game though 😊

[YanZeros]

It was a very nice and memorable poetical game, and made me happy :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I'm glad ☺
Me too 😊

[JayDee]
