Love is a Game

by Kulbir Bhalla

Love is a game
Which some play
To set you aflame
And sweep you away.

So if love you're seeking,
Running to and fro,
You may be freaking,
Before you know.

Some put on an act,
Which seems so true,
And you'll react
To what they do.

You'll go for a ride,
Which may be thrilling,
Before being cast aside,
In a manner chilling.

So allow your mind
To rule your heart,
And you'll find
You aren't torn apart.

Kulbirji, The last stanza is striking. Not only in love, in all matters if we allow our mind to rule our heart, it would be better.
