Chapter 603

Paradise

While offered by many
Few seem to heed advice
Even if they hear it twice
Or again if it's spoken thrice

One may think they are strong
What they seek is only a little vice
They are often soon shocked to realize
They are caught up in love's vise

What is lovingly shared is nice
It becomes more than life's spice
Into a heart and soul it will slice
More must be had at any price

One thing after another builds
What was once viewed as concise
Is now anything but precise
Many things begin to entice

More and more will not suffice
One can gamble and roll the dice
What was hot may turn to ice
Or appreciate they're in Paradise

Nobody
