Love’s a Deceptive Game Şiiri - İdris Esen

love’s a deceptively sweet game
with all its cheers, tears and fears
madness’d be a more befitting name

love fascinates and inflames
it entraps and enslaves
and files outrageous claims
on your life, names, and aims
it departs, without farewells, on early trains
leaving behind
some lonely pictures for fancy frames

love takes you through sunshine, winds and rains
and grows into a prime source of sorrow and pains
some sweet smiles and red roses
occasional hugs, and kisses in large doses
may well be the only tangible gains
love takes you through sunshine, winds and rains
and it departs, without farewells, on early trains,
leaving behind
some heartbreaking memories for fancy frames
