Love is a play
Two people play
That’s what fairy tales say
Cultures dictate a certain way

Like in a ball
A mask partners wear
No referee, no judge
Law doesn’t interfere

It’s a passion show
Opponents display
Love and hate
In juxtaposion placed

Tug-of -war
Skills-powers are the weapons
To overcome obstacles

A game, others watch
And interfere
As if it’s their affair

There is no winner or loser
Or both, same result in this game

Playing on a stage
They are puppets or actors
In their own creation
Which is called a (life) play
