Game Poem by Michael Eziudo

If I knew love was a game people played
I would have rehearsed well enough in my mother's womb
For I would score too high should I be among all who played
Such a game with boundless rules enjoyed when played
If I knew love was a game people played
And a game never enjoyed under rules being played.

If I knew love was a game people played
A bund of perfection that grumbles the stomach
Of limitless quality and boundless measure if played
Upon no rules but from me to you if consciously played
Selflessness and selfishness denied when played
If I knew love was a game people played
How could I have fun with in mind rules when it's being played
