Deception of Love...
The deception of love,
many have their own,
sprouting from their past,
a ship dismast...
Still afloat,
a bumboat,
offshore upon the waves,
each heart to itself, many slaves...
A destination unknown,
sharing it with others,
selfishness of need,
planting a seed...
Reaching deep into another,
craving acceptance,
wanting love,
that's not from above...
The light of a lighthouse,
in the distance,
stay away from here,
from the land you're clear...
Steered away from collision,
reaching the port,
setting up fort,
the world your court...
The deception of love,
when not seeking from above,
becomes push & shove,
unlike the falling dove...
Hear these words,
expect not from others,
hold true serene,
on the Lord, always lean...
