"Luck Of The Draw"

I've always been told

to play my cards right.

But I was lost in the shuffle.

Until we found each other,

closed the bridge and chose

to deal with one another.

I know it's a winner

so with no hesitation

I'll put Diamonds on that hand

because I dig her

more than Spades.

She resurrected me

from the soil,

from a muddy past

full of Dirty Hearts.

Even my days were dark

but like Clubs in Vegas she

made the nightlife worth living.

I dove in headfirst,

not to Go Fish,

but because quicker

than a first trimester

I knew she was my baby,

regardless of it being

plenty of fish in the C-section.

I didn't have to Poker

for something beautiful

to be airborne.

We cut ties like cut decks

from any ex who guesses

like tarot readings

that there's a future

in closed books.

I'm not a gambling man

but when it comes

to betting on us

I turn into a Bid Whiz.

We've torn down barriers

with blackjacks of trust

and rebuilt a Palace

amongst the rubble.

I'll battle the world

for this type of love.

If a Queen is the King's prize,

then I Declare War.

And I think I'd win.

Simply because,

luck of the draw doesn't exist.

There's a reason that there are

fifty two weeks, four seasons

in a year

and fifty two cards, four suits

in a deck.

Therefore, true love

is like playing with Bicycle's,

once you learn

you'll be higher than Aviator's.

So we just play our cards right.

Never again being

lost in the shuffle.

We found each other

closed the bridge

and deal with one another

by choice.
