Do you live in love or poker

Do you live in love

Do you live in love
Or
Do you love your life
Will protocols and  the proper etiquette
Reinforce , your prospective
In a manufactured  , right

Will you define yourself
By the gold on your shelf
In a dusty room
Titled ?
My mannerism , are true

I can provide
I can supply
My protocol
My  etiquette
Will give you respect
As you walk by my side

But where our the words
I love you my wife
Do you live in love
Or
Do you love your life

Do you think this is a game of poker
To hide your  insecurities
By chips of golden respect
You place on the table

A fools gold will
Define , your agenda
Only the love  in your own
Etiquette of protocols
Will you find a love to live in

True love has no price
It’s the combined serenading
Of the protocols , agendas that we hold so tight 
 


To the readers I didn’t have the proper time to complete this
And I will say this poem is personal  [ about a family member ]
That’s thinks money can buy love
