Question: Aces of the Heart!. What of your thoughts
Aces of the Heart

Another distant encounter
A thinking second
So cruel
That life is cheated of it's ace
All cards thrown out the window
And all shuffle met with a whip

There is no art left
All wonder is lingering
And all wrong is through

So say you that you love me

The sleight of hand
Crumpling my deck
My fingers frantic
Thinking more then prostrate

A king of Spades
If this parts
Then I should find the wall
In so far as I can make
And end in a dead splatter

The J of Diamonds
Whisper me your offers
And wind me up in your debt

What do I do
I have not one heart
Would you make mine beat!?

Nor one club
What of the war
Would you die for me!?

I know a trump
A rare sudden space
Lateral out fluent fold

Call!.
Dare you win!.

I fumble with my ace
In the second when you play your hand
The Ace of Hearts
The Queen

My soul!.

This is stunning, with cards as a metaphor for life, for those we know, for what happens!. I also love the terminology from several different games of cards, such as the lines "What of the war/would you die for me!." And "Call/Dare you win!." Of course, life often has ace up it's sleeve!. Blessed be, and write on!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
