Another day has folded its wings Yielding graciously to the night; And somewhere out there Love is hiding, While lost hearts seek their guiding light I've seen dark nights when clouds drape the moon And celestial orbs dim their light, And yet there's no darkness that equals The void when Love's hidden from sight Love enjoys playing this merciless game, (Of course, I can only surmise) But Love remains mute when I beckon, And deaf to my heart's wistful cries Ah, but with what mastery it moves, Taunting hearts, leading them astray; Much like that vile serpent of Eden, Love teases, then slithers away Defeated we confront the folly Of our efforts as day unwinds; Sadly, Love's pranks can prove fatal for The heart that seeks, but never finds Love is an alluring game of chance That hides behind its dubious schemes; As for the lovelorn, we must seek our bliss In the secret confines of our dreams

Hide and Seek
