Throw the dice!(revised)

 

 

Universal love will show you the way and will prevail.

 

You will not prevail;
love will be the victorious in this equation!

 

Its time for you to throw the die and wait
for the numbers to show your way.

 

But what's the number of love?

Snake eyes will be the beginning.

 

"And the snake lured Adam and Eve to eat
the apple and they were both banished from
the Garden of Eden..."

 

Love prevails and conquers

Even when mortal love does not!

 

Universes Love for life will triumph.

 

The highest number on the die is 6,
is it the perfect number?

 

"And on the seventh day he rested",

Gods act of love lasted 6 days

and was complete day 7.

 

Number 7, the day of rest and perfection,

loves melody is perfect and tranquil!

 

But the highest number on the die is 6!

Is love none existent?

Do I chase a dream?

 

Don't throw your die alone!

 

The number of unadulterated love
is 8, your number is 4!

 

When you shall meet the right one
you will both throw the dice
and her number will be 3,

 

Love is perfect; the number of love should be 7!

The number of perfect love is 7!

What's the right number then?

 

When you meet the right one both dice
will be thrown on the ground

and the number shall be 8!

 

When the time arrives you will lie together,
the number 8 will become infinity

But what is infinity?

 

The number of love is 7 when a child is born

the number 7 becomes 8 the number of
unadulterated love!

 

Universal love will prevail and conquer

Until the child grows older and throws the die

then the wheels of fortune will be set in motion

the haphazard circle of love will start anew!

 

And the perpetual question is...

what's the number of love?

 

Love is infinite!

This is not only entertaining. It is a challenge. I pondered it over and over and thoughts came at me like a maze of falling dominos. All those dots! 8 could be the eternal number because in writing it correctly it has no beginning and no end, it just keeps repeating itself. But you could say that about a 0, except that would be nothing. And as the song says, nothing from nothing leaves nothing. I really appreciate the brain-work this poem evokes.

I love how you have used numbers to equate to love. Your thoughts and ideas have been presented persuasively and poetically. Your imagination and your intellect are always a pleasure to encounter.
