Playing at Love.
Festooned round
skilfully sentenced evasion
never deeper
than experienced phrasing,
lies counterfeit,
cunning methods known as
unmeant affection.
Playing at love is a divisive
two-faced game
based on arrant deception.
Fake vows will
never stand time's intense
scrutiny, real
care knows trust can break
when misled.
Better to give thought first
before starts
love-commitment by word.

A fine write Fay.
Thanks my friend.
Good write with very sound advice Fay.
Pleased you saw the value in sound advice - - thank you dear Goldi.
Great writing and a reminder. Don’t play with love. Love can be playfull but not played off.
So so true your perceptive comment dear Malu. - thank you dear friend.
Welcome always.
Good advice, to the young just entering the arena of love especially. Well written and formed poet wisdom, Fay!
Fay, I love this poem, which seems to be a little bit different from your usual writing style, but is equally exquisite.
Something that came to my mind when reading it is that kids learn through play. Maybe the same is true for love? We start out playing at love and learn before finding that true and lasting love. Just a thought!
Just so Fred - - I believe my choice of picture which was taken in haste was not the right one to depict what the verse was stating - not the young innocents but those who prey on vulnerability was what I wanted to show............... may change the pic. when I have opportunity. Thank you ever so much for your kind comments.
So true, Fay. Unintended yet spoken love can be hurtful, destructive, and vicious. I can only offer that I've seen this between a couple, both plating at the same game. Interesting to watch the interplay and explosive ending. It seems time exposes every weakness. Great write. - Phil A.
