Analysis of Inamorata (Game of Chance)
They preach of love, which at first sight is ranked impossible
Do you betray me, heart, when rushing signals through?
Express delivery of truth, both risky and insanely plausible
Meanwhile, my eyes - in silent disbelief
For stories propagated by her smile...
I would stand up and flow in her direction, magnetically induced
Short introduction, free pratique, inspection, both elevated and reduced
For I am won, destroyed, seduced...Give me a chance, o stranger!
I'll wager - there is no other, who'd forfeit such a daring offer
It's not a search for comfort! It's simply 'calling' - unexpected, unexplained...
Approaching peak with every sight I gain from her inamorata eyes...
Despite disguise I place to shield my passion
My logic has exhausted any rations of former sense of self-control...
I hope to choose, how to approach this complicated role
That must emerge from socially accepted plays,
How much delay, before she finishes her meal and leaves without a trace?
So sensual when picking up her tray...
Should I forget this nonsense a la fools?
Should I go forth an break the wretched rules?
O, heart...do you betray?
Coincidence of feel and love, heart-felt and honestly instinctive
Is strained by social limitations, nonetheless...
Our hero has some questions to address
Mainly, how much he cares to fight for what is felt
And if it is indeed enough for further action
How smooth be his approach to interaction?
How much can he finesse the first impression on the fairest Lady?
And even then, the answer may be: maybe...
Do not forget, she has some questions to address as well...
Tread softly, for you tread on societal whims... :)
They do not care about your personal agenda or
Happiness that you allowed to pass...
They have a tendency to JUDGE! And that's, to them - sufficient...
God bless you all! And don't miss love!
It's true romance - so subject to the game of chance
Will also yield to bold and few that want it most!
