With chagrin I
Admitted truth betting
Against the house
You called my
Hand forcing me
To show my
Hand then you
Yours we tied
No loser free
To play another
Hand of perhaps
Truth or dare
With chagrin I
Admitted truth betting
Against the house
You called my
Hand forcing me
To show my
Hand then you
Yours we tied
No loser free
To play another
Hand of perhaps
Truth or dare
I woke up
Thinking like a
Child perplexed by
Division me divided
Into you equaling
Something less than
We were at
The start now
A period placed
Before we were
Just two numbers
Now were less
And not more
The words are
Flowing like draught
Beer all fizzy
And foamy quenching
With just a
Bit of bite
Drink me down
And belch knowing
That you’re satisfied
And soon will
Swoon with words
I’m a fool
Once again caught
By the gaze
Of a smile
Beaming from behind
Mischievous eyes like
A cunning dog
Knowing that I
Will step closer
Then bite at
My touch but
So I must
Not because I
Wish to be
Bit but because
I still trust
Those beautiful smiles
Knowing that one
Has twinkling eyes
Oh and then
He said hello
Oh I stared
Squinting from the
Suns glare haloing
Him uncertain how
He looked unable
We simply talked
Like strangers on
A bus until
A cloud covered
The sun and
Saw him and
As suspected there
Stood an Angel
