Games are fun for us.
Treat life like a game and play.
Drive, create, and love.

Nine of Pentacles.
Our pleasing life is near.
Grab our Ten of Cups.

We hop in the snow
and into the ice castle.
You tackle me and laugh.

We crawl to the edge and peek over.
The dark blue waves far below us,
crashing against the rocky walls of our cliff.
They move in sync to the thumping of our hearts.
This is how I felt when I first met you.

This song matches my poem. It’s called “So Good To Me” by Chris Malinchak.

Parents killed by war.
Dreams are the child’s only friend.
Flying carpet ride.

Surpass them and they will kill.
