Love is a Tombola

Love is a Tombola

love is a tombola
i stuck my hand in
and who knows the prize
it is a lottery
that bubbles up inside
we climb the ropes
negotiate the course
that end goal
so readily sought
love is a dragon wheel
that turns on its treasure
and turns on the way we feel
we love for the moment,
maybe a day or an hour
or maybe it is just a thought
a long lost flower
love is a house
that you try to build
you thatch the roof
with the harvest you yield
can you really tell me
how it is, you actually feel?
