~ The Act or
Art Of Love ~
The world is a
giant stage
where we try
to rise above.
We give our
best
performances
at this thing
called love.
I’ve seen the
greatest
actors,
they’ve
learned their
lines so well.
That in the
end when love
was void, it
was still hard
to tell.
But I’ve found
that love
definitely has
two different
sides.
Just like
actors playing
characters,
one
personality he
hides.
First there’s
the act of
love which
everyone knows
so well.
The other is
the art of
love, it’s a
little harder
to sell.
The act is
done by
actors, giving
a performance
and seeking a
smile.
But their
personal
pleasure is
what they’re
seeking all
the while.
Their partners
have no
special place,
like statues
made of wood.
Somehow I feel
their closing
lines should
be, “Wasn’t I
good?”
But then you
have the art
of love, an
art not many
know.
The world
truly needs
more artists,
if love is
ever to grow.
An artist
takes his
time, every
stroke is done
with pride.
And when he’s
done, the love
in his heart
is impossible
to hide.
His work is
done with the
desire that
the whole
world might
see,
That his hard
work was only
done to
capture
eternal
beauty.
Unlike the
actor, who
leaves the
stage to again
become
himself,
The artist is
the artist
with nothing
hidden on a
shelf.
So when you
consider love,
you must
choose which
it will be,
The act of
love or the
art of love, I
hope you
choose wisely
